Hello all:
I am currently a PC user and am considering a move to Mac (prob. MBP 2.2). Anyway, I am a power user for business apps and many of the programs I have and use are PC-based.
Using Parallels or other programs, can someone tell me how the performance running in the XP (I would prefer this to Vista) environment is? For example, will Outlook or Office programs run slower? How about using IE 7.0 (some websites apparently can only be viewed on PC?).
Also, opinions on MB 2.16GHz upgraded to 2GB RAM compared to MBP 2.2GHz in terms of running parallel environments?
Can advise would be helpful to make my decision. The other PC-based laptop I am considering is the Sony Vaio SZ, which is lightweight carbon-fiber and fully featured for business.
Thank so much!
