    Have you considered VMware Mac? I have that running on my M4500. Works just fine... latest upgrade was 10.6.6? along with Ubuntu, XP and Windows 98.

    I have a quick question on a purchase. I was able to get a Dell Precision m4500 with a Core i7-840QM, 320GB, 4GB RAM, 1GB FX 880M video card, DVD Writer, 1080p FHD screen and warranty until 10/2013 for about $950. Is this a good deal, or should I wait for one of the coupons for the Dell Outlet to get a Dell Latitude E6510? I figure I can get something close to that configuration as far as a Latitude for $800 or so minus the NBD support and slower graphics processor.

    Get the M4500. It's a pretty good deal. How is the warranty on it if any?

    The warranty on the item ends 10/2013.

    I'm looking at this sytem:

    64 GB SSD
    500 GB 7200 RPM
    Quadro FX 1800M
    2 GB Ram (upgrade myself)
    Full HD Screen w/ Camera
    Bluetooth

    $2100 for Core 840QM
    $2450 for Core 940XM

    Is this a good deal? I am using a coupon I got in my email. Without the coupon, it comes out to $2570 and $3100 respectively.

    I am using this laptop mostly for 3D modeling, rendering, and adobe CS (Photoshop, After Effects, etc). Is the $350 difference worth the processor upgrade?

    Pro tip for your system, don't get the 500gb hard drive
    only get the ssd. Then order the hard drive on newegg, when you get your memory.

    Or look at the dell outlet, for a better deal.
