Can someone confirm that MacBook will not run Aperture?

I was ready to buy a macbook, and I just heard about this that is holding me back for a second thought. Can someone please confirm? Thanks.

I don't have a MacBook or Aperture, but looking at the system requirments, it does not appear that the MB will work, or work well at all.

Power Mac G5 with 1.8GHz or faster PowerPC G5 processor; 17- or 20-inch iMac with 1.8GHz or faster PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo processor; MacBook Pro; or 15- or 17-inch PowerBook G4 with 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4 processor.

I'm talking about stuff I really don't know about, so please correct me if I'm wrong (and be nice).

It will run it you just get an error every time it opens. Basically it will run just not very well was not acceptable to me.

On the photography forum someone noted their MBP ran it slow with 2GB RAM.

I've heard it's actually quite capable in Aperture despite the error message. You can probably Google benchmarks somewhere.

You need H4X to run Aperture on the MacBook.
