[QUOTE="bbnck, post: 1751897, member: 384434"] It would be helpful if you tell us what your budget is. If you don't mind buying a second-hand Mac, you might want to look at buying a refurbished Mac directly from Apple: you'll save some money and benefit from the same warranty offered on new Macs. Apple has a pretty rigorous refurbishment process. When you say you're going to be using it to [I]host[/I] a virtual machine, do you mean to act as a server, or to run applications designed for Windows or other operating systems? What kind of notebook you need, and the performance you require, also depends on what kind of applications you're going to run in the VM. Are they professional applications that use a lot of resources? This information makes a big difference between us recommending to you something like a MacBook versus a more powerful MacBook Pro.
