QUICK: a friend is about to buy a new laptop, and I might convince him to buy a Mac

I am gonna suggest to him to watch that Leopard video (if I can still find it on Apple's site). I told him that he can also run Windows so he can have the best of both worlds (he's a tech person, he uses Solid Works). Of course I am gonna tell him to wait till next week after MWSF to see what comes out.

Any other videos that you might suggest to make him switch?

thanks

as a solidworks and inventor user... i can readily laud the bootcamp feature
of leopard. i switch over whenever i need to do work at home. but only use
bootcamp for those programs alone...

when parallels first came out with v3, i tried the demo but did not like the
performance with these two programs. so i would recommend BC that
comes with leopard over parallels..

my 2 cents

The SolidWorks site says that only the ATI FireGL and Nvidia Quadro cards are recommended. Only a handfull of PC laptops have these. Does the MacBook Pro you have do a good job at accelerating RealView funcitons?
