1. i run equest on win2k using vmware on my macbook, imac, and mac
mini (rare for the mini anymore). no dual booting. win2k connected
to my network so i can copy my files to my project directory. works
fine. i don't run windows in full screen just in case it (windows)
locks up & i can't see my mac controls ... but the lock up i've
had twice wasn't due to equest.<br>
<br>
macbook is a 2008 white core 2 duo running snow leopard 4 gigs ram,
imac is a 2008 24" core 2 duo running snow leopard 4 gigs ram, mini
is a 2007 core duo running snow leopard, 2 gigs ram.<br>
<br>
2. usgbc submittals - if you're submitting thru windows in a
virtual machine (read windows vista/7) you could do the online
submittals thru windows. if you're using a mac though as of this
morning (still):<br>
<br>
3. potential problem<br>
usgbc leed online v3/2009 does NOT support osx lion/safari 5.1. the
banner that shows up at the top says they're still working on it but
they've been working on it since lion came out. when snow leopard came out it took them 6 months or so to "fix" the online site to be
mac friendly.<br>
<br>
4. i have not had good success running equest using the wine
emulator on my mac. i find it unstable and prone to crashing so i just keep running it under win2k in vmware.<br>

eQuest on a MacBook? My back-up laptop, Dell Vostro, lost its
motherboard 2 nights ago right in the middle of a Baseline
model....Ugh. It was only 2.5 yrs old.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With that crash---I'm fed up with Dells and am looking for a
better laptop with enough reliability to handle eQuest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any drawbacks or advantages that I should be aware
of before purchasing a MacBook? It's nervy to switch to a
Mac, being a PC so long, but after 5 Dell computers---and poor
computer quality, I'm wavering from the whole PC thing
anyway....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would appreciate advice, notes or recommendations on a new,
good laptop that will run eQuest with little issues...</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
