[QUOTE="artruist, post: 541876, member: 42971"] Hi, We are about to get a Mac laptop and we don't want to spend a fortune on it, however, we want to be sure we can use that machine to test our Web applications (primarily AJAX/DHTML/CSS website) for compatibility with the latest Mac's OS updates, i.e. Leopards and whatever animal comes next. Can anyone give me a hint as to what we should choose? I've been advised we should go for the cheapest of Intel-based Macs which is not as cheap as we'd want it to be, probably iBook. However, there are G4s in the marketplace which are relatively inexpensive. Like I said our primary goal is to use that laptop for our testing needs which would involve testing general compatibility and Flash/Flex. We would want to use Safari and Firefox for Mac for that. Probably we'd use some specialized software to automate testing routines and do a kind of regression testing. So, the bottom-line, what should we go for given our requirements, would an Intel-based Mac be better? I'm afraid that we get an outdated laptop and newly release updates of OSs and browsers won't work with it so we'll face this problem again. Please advise!! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
