[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 900276, member: 48298"] There is only one Mac 17" notebook, if that's the size you want. Please read the "Switcher's Guide" sticky at the top of the page, it has a lot of good information. The real question is what kind of software are you running - whether it requires a dedicated graphics card or doesn't. Games and CAD programs, as well as video editing and similar software, generally do. The 17" MacBook Pro comes with a very good graphics card so you are good to go. There are less expensive Macs (13" and 15" model notebooks), with either nVidia 9400M integrated graphics or separate graphics adapters. Your decision to run Windows in BootCamp or in a virtual machine (using Fusion, Parallels or Virtual Box) will also be driven to some extent by your anticipated end use. The sticky goes through a lot of this. Good luck - these are great machines. Cheers [/QUOTE]
