So assuming you can get it running smoothly (I couldnt when I tried but that was pretty early), in what ways is it better than HEM1? (Or anyone else successfully using HEM2 please chime in.) Like Vini I have a tough time imagining where the significant additional value is going to lie.

only one way to find out

I dunno, haven't investigated it too much, and I got it for free so I'm not gonna be the best to answer. But it is significantly faster at importing hands

hem1 has issues importing 20 hands a minute?
speed of importing in hem1 is just fine

I tried HEM2 a couple of times and really disliked it. It is still a bit buggy (or was 1 month ago) and I really don't like the feel of it. Also there is very little that is of any importance that HEM2 can do and HEM1 can't.

hem2 looks prettier.

Buying a Mac as your main poker machine would be insane. FWIW the Stars client has a native OS X version, as does PT3. HEM and TN don't though, and running them through Fusion/Parallels in OS X while masstabling leads to virtually unplayable lag. If you want to play serious poker on a Mac then you have to buy Windows and set up a Windows virtual machine on your Mac...so there's little point in getting a Mac in the first place.

Macs look pretty and the operating system is a bit better. That's about it. Apparently Windows 7 has closed the gap in that respect in any case. I bought my Macbook because I was one of the poor suckers that got lumbered with Vista ie PC AIDS on my desktop poker machine, and had a bunch of problems. So I vowed I would buy a Mac as my next recreational machine. Months after I spent $2500 on a Macbook to play Football Manager and browse porn sites on, Vista got dumped for 7 to a reception of: "they've copied the Mac OS, this is pretty good!"

Cliffs: Macs are great, but poor value; and are a terrible choice as your main poker machine.

Thanks man I think that I'm going to pick up this one tho as I have Battlefield 3 and would like to play it on a specific gaming rig after a long day grinding. I really appreciate the link tho.

Thanks to everyone's insight on this, I really appreciate it. I really felt insane looking at the prices of macbooks.

Good to see Mustaine as new avatar. Metal god imo.

Oh Jesus. I'm never ordering any large purchase while living in Canada again online. 8 days to get a laptop ordered, 3 customer service calls assuring me it would ship out the next business day (it never did), 1 cancelled order. Reorder on another site and 2 hours on customer service just to get a laptop order approved by my bank.

You're doing it wrong.

ncix.com,
usually ship in 2 days, most of the time the next day.

dgmt is always a super cool guy on the forums, and at the tables this really shocks me

jerry!

i dont understand the negativity towards smb, seems like one of the classiest players at the table

was living in cali last year and amazon.com is best thing about living in the US imo.

Coming from LI/NYC, I find very few things about Canada advantageous over the U.S. Perhaps someone can enlighten me?
