I'm looking for a nice looking laptop stand for my macbook pro for my desktop to play some pokerz. I plan on getting a 2nd widescreen monitor at some point. Any suggestions/preferences?

I have used this for the last couple months:

(there are wider versions if you have a 15" or 17" MBP)

Useful if you grind for long sessions or play games. I personally play games and so I really needed something to keep my temperatures down. Being able to move around the fan positions is good because the MacBooks generate lots of heat in the back, and not necessarily the front or middle.

Whats useful on this one is that the USB connection has a USB pass through, so you don't lose a USB port using it, which is nice because you only have 2 on the MacBook.

Not very useful if you don't want to keep the laptop cool and just want something to prop it up though.

I'm about to buy my first computer. I like Macs but have been told it doesn't incorporate online poker tools such as Poker Tracker and Poker Office very well. Also can't get on manypoker sites. Is this true? Is it a hassle playing poker on a Mac and can one use these tools efficiently or not? Any advice on this would be greatly appre4ciated. Thanks, Joe Coyote

There are a load of threads on this. Most people boot their Mac into an installation of Windows (you'll need to pay for that separately) to play poker, rather than into OSX (Apple's operating system). Play around with the search function - there's tons of help here about what to do, and if you still can't find it use Google. You may wish to search for Bootcamp, which is a fairly common way of running Windows on a Mac.
