A friend of mine is about to buy a Mac laptop and is wondering whether he will be able to run IL-2 1946 on it.
Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,

why buy such an overpriced computer + paying for extra copy for xp and bootcamp where you can get PC
Because...
Macs are more stable platforms, even when running Windows.
Macs have a better environment for graphic program software (think photoshop, illustrator, flash).
Macs are much less prone to catching viruses, since most simply aren't made for them.
Macs have a lot of functionality built in from the get go, vs having to install special software. Example: On my PC desktop, I can't burn a disc containing anything without having to fire up Roxio or whatever. XP is supposed to have drag and drop burn capabilities, but mine never worked. Annoyances like this are a big reason why Macs are better. Yes, its true Macs are pricier than most standard PC notebooks, but I wouldn't trade my macbook pro for any PC laptop, and that includes the insanely overpriced gaming ones.
