Vegas on a Mac Book Pro
With the release on Boot Camp it seems that I'll be able to run Vegas on a Mac Book Pro.
I presently use both Apple and MS computers but I prefer the Mac OS over XP. Has anybody tried to use Vegas (or DV Rack/Ultra) on an Intel Mac yet? I'm curious about the results. |

Spot, what are the differences, and would the Mac be a good choice for road editing?

Too early to tell, as far as I can see. So far, runs good. Only spent about an hour with it, too much going on for me to get deep into it. I may have time later this week. All indications up front suggest it's going to be fine.

any follow up
as far as anyone now that it has been around a little longer has anyone had any good or bad experiences using Vegas on a MacBook Pro? and is a basic macbook enough for some basic on road editing or is the faster processor needed? What are the advantages if any of using it over a PC laptop like an HP

Anyone have any advice? Stephen Eastwood http://www.PhotographersPortfolio.com Last edited by Stephen Eastwood; June 25th, 2007 at 01:45 PM. |
