I need to get another laptop for cad and cam work and wanted to hear from anyone who runs solidworks and a cam package on a MacBook Pro i7 booted in windows.
My current computer is an Hp elitebook 8560w which has been solid. This will new computer doesn't need to be drastically faster, I'm doing more part work and smaller assemblies and ramping up with a cam package. I'd like this to be more portable than my current computer.
I was considering a newer Hp but have been impressed with the hardware quality and smaller size of my wife's MacBook Air and started looking at MacBook Pro models.
It looks like USB to serial for dnc is going to be needed for both the Hp and Mac.
I also have no need for solidworks real view.
Any experience would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
