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?
