My father want´s a laptop (PC), pls help me

Thanks for all replies.
Andy, I was thinking of doing just that.

pctomac, do you think the 13" will run the game ok?

I´m pretty sure it will only be this game for the forseeable future.

I looked at the M11x, but I think 11! will be to small a screen for his aging eyes

Mac or PC is not the issue. He wants to run a specific program, which any reasonable laptop will run just fine for a lot less than a Mac. You could get a nice large monitor with the savings and still have a lot of extra cash.

So what's the issue? You'll have to put Bootcamp or a VM on he Mac to run RC Flightsim. So you really aren't avoiding PC issues and adding a new set - anytime something gone wrong it'll be the Mac's fault. Can't use the Futaba controller? - must be the Mac.

Win7 is not a bad OS; and it seems an inexpensive laptop will meet his needs. I'd find a nice, sturdy laptop PC with a decent graphics chip and go from there.

This isn't a case where buying a cheap tool (or digital camera) will lead to frustration because it won't work well or break at a bad time - you're trying to gold plate a solution that doesn't need it.

Get him a PC, and tell him he's on his own. Really...

Love this logic.
