Why would you go through the extra hoops when all of the stuff you use is windows software? Leading Sony and Toshiba notebooks are very high quality although no one currently has screens with as many pixels as mac books.

That's what I did. You can read/write from Mac and Windows to the two programs without issues.
- Support for 1x 30" 2560x1600 (I'd survive without it I guess)
- Min 2 USB ports
- Bluetooth
- Good monitor/resolution
- Good quality build (don't want the plastic-y feeling)
- SSD not needed if it's possible to replace the HDD "easily" with a Kingston HyperX I have in my current laptop.
- Good keyboard (backlit is nice)
- Good battery
What I don't need/couldn't care less about:
- BluRay/DVD
- Ethernet
- SD/MMC reader
- Bloatware (will just do a clean install if its a ton on it)
Should be able to pull off grinding 5+ sites with HEM, tableninja, itunes, spotify, chrome, skype and all the standard multitask stuff.
Looks pretty healthy but I just can't imagine paying that much and not getting an SSD, unless it comes with a second HDD enclosure and you want to get a specific one, which I would say is the best plan.
idk exactly what u mean but i know that if ur playing only stars, x1080 might be fine but if ur playing more softwares ull be very annoyed by the overlap
Just bought a new SyncMaster 27'' wide they only had 1 in fkn Malta.... Y U STUPID MALTA NO HAS ****.... so will wait couple of weeks for the 2nd one ;>)

If im playing 9 tables or more on a 24" 1920x1200. Isn't the font going to be small and the HUD-font as well?
Just an FYI for the Macbook retina Holdem manager is really not pleased with Windows on Mac. Gives errors, works like ****, and the software doesn't really take advantage of the super resolution on the screen.
So prolly not a good grinding laptop to use it everyday, but good enough if you thunderbolt it to a 27'' Mac monitor.

hmm interesting ty for that. Is that with windows installed via bootcamp or a virtual installation?
