Pulck Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'm considering a new laptop and am weighing up whether to get a Macbook Pro or PC laptop. What are my chances of getting FCP to run well on OSX86 on a laptop? And what are the issues? Presumably I could save myself a bundle if I could but I want the thing to run properly, as it would be the primary use of the machine. Also would I have any luck driving a 2nd monitor off a OSX86 laptop? This is also pretty important since FCP is much nicer to use with a 2nd screen. Sorry if these questions sound dumb. I have experience installing OSX86 on desktops and have even run FCP pretty successfully on these, but have never owned a laptop and don't know what the major pitfalls are.

I can't see the Asus K40IE anywhere, so presumably it's out of production now. Does anyone else have FCP running on an OSX86 lappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
