[QUOTE="Pundle, post: 363248, member: 29475"] Hi all. I'm a recent Mac convert, I've had an iMac for about 6 months now. Anyway it's coming up time for me to get a new laptop for work and I've pretty much settled on the MacBook. I write Windows-based software for a living, and I plan to run Parallels to use Windows XP for Visual Studio, then use OSX for everything else I need for work. I currently use a second monitor when I'm at work, and I hope to keep doing so with the MacBook. My current laptop is a Dell Inspiron 700m and it has integrated graphics. I use a 20" widescreen monitor, at 1680x1050, rotated on its side in portrait orientation (much better for dealing with documents and code), and the Dell runs it OK but can be a bit laggy sometimes, and really struggles to run something like Google Earth on the big monitor. So has anyone got any experience with using a monitor of this size with their MacBooks? Can it handle it OK or does it struggle a bit? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
