ghoti 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 In addition to Full Tilt: Party Poker has a Mac download. Pacific Poker and Poker Room both have Mac-able online versions. (You are outside US, yes?) Still not great selection. Link to post Share on other sites

20TN40 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 RT, a few months back I bought my first laptop.........an Everex StepNote. Love it! It came with Vista Basic installed which was great for me because so many other computers come loaded up with stuff I ain't never gonna use. It's a great computer, fast with plenty of memory. I can play tables on FT, Stars and AP all while watching the ft of the WSOPE and it never even blinks. I got it from Circuit City and at the time it was $699 with almost $300 in rebates and free shipping. Ordered it on a Wednesday and got it on Friday. I certainly won't be going back to a desktop any time in the future! I did quite a bit of research before buying one because I wasn't sure if I should purchase a big name brand to get quality or if something else would be just as good. Checked out CNET and this laptop was rated in the top 3 for all categories so I feel I got a good laptop at a really good price! Link to post Share on other sites

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 WTF bob lock it up...Im not allowed to post about laptopsDude.I have never seen anyone who has had more topics locked or deleted than you. You should have your "New Topic" button disabled.To the OP... just buy a cheap laptop on eBay. Unless you need specific firepower, just Internet access and the basics, get a three year old IBM T series or something.. You can probably get something for $200-300 Link to post Share on other sites

WTF??? How much ram does it have? Mine has Vista premium to. I just spent another $300on a computer desk which took 4 hours and a blister from all the fucking screws to put together. I can still take this back andspend a bit more on another one. But I'm to lazy to hassle with that bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites
uncooper 1 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I play Stars on my Mac laptop. You don't even need to dual boot, there is a program called Virtual PC which allows you to run Windows from within Mac OS X. It runs fine on my powerbook which is like 3 years old, 1.7GHz.

mln_falcon 0 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have a macbook pro and its very nice. But I use linux rather than OSX (dualbooting) and play on stars. OSX is ok, but not for playing poker. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Mac is the sh1t but expensive 2k-3k depending on amenities. I could not justify so I bought a Gateway from BestBuy on Sale for $699 17" widescreen 2 gig ram, 160mb hard drive, vista, so far it works great, I am not comfortable w/ vista yet but that will come with time.
