Why ?

I've used a Mac both personally and professionally all my life and am typically the first to recommend the platform to anyone, but for Vue 7, the Mac is just not the way to go. Nothing against the Mac, more something against e-on and their Mac dev team as the application just plain runs better on a PC.

Of course that's Vue 7 and I'm not sure what version of you are running (or planning to), but if it's 6, it's actually quite stable and runs rather nicely on the Mac. I'm currently using Vue 6 Infinite for my scene builds and setups, but leveraging Vue 7 Infinite to render as the new render engine is  quite spectacular IMHO. Maybe since I'm only able to use a fraction of Vue 7, e-on can give me the rest of my money back ;)

BTW, my main machine is a rev. A Mac Pro 2x 3.0 GHz dual-core with 16GB of RAM, but I've also got a handful of other Macs and a yes, even a PC lurking around that does indeed run Vue 7 like a champ.

Best of luck on choosing your new machine, whatever that may be :)
