Running AMX software on a Mac

anyone know if I can run AMX software in a macbook? They run Windoze now as a 2nd OS. I'm hoping these machines last longer and work better than the IBMs and HPs and other crappy laptops in the market today.

OR..if you have a good laptop to recommend.. that's also good.

    I run all of the amx software on a mac book pro using mostly parallels and now vmware, and also bootcamp. It all works perfectly.

    great. what about the other AV stuff like GWare, Polycom Vortex stuff, Media Matrix and such? I COULD put a post on all those forums but since you've been doing it.. might as well ask.

    thanks

    I haven't used any of those.. but I have used a lot of networked audio dsp processors including ones that communicate with cobranet and all have worked.. It really is exactly the same.. just with better hardware. I have always had great luck with my macs.. and not so great with pc's. It also is fully functional with networking and I have used my trusty little cheap Fdti chip based usb to serial adapter and have yet to run into a device I haven't been able to communicate with.

    I confirm all AMX programming softwares work like a charm on Mac computers (I use myself Parallels without problems, previously Virtual PC on my old PPC Mac) since years to write AMX programs without any problems. I use a little Keyspan USB adapter when I need to connect in serial mode to an Axcess system or NetLinx for network setup :)
    I can confirm you it works also perfect with C***** softwares ;)
    I would advise you if you have money to buy Macbook Pro as they are more powerful and better quality than Macbook :)
