Hello all,
I am looking for advice/opinions/experience with using PC Consoles and off line editors. I am not the most computer savory but I am not uninformed if that makes any sense.
Currently I have only Apple/Mac computers and I would like to be able to run and use off line editors and PC Consoles such as the M1 software/ M-Touch, GranMa PC/ Wings or HogPC/ Various Wings.
Clearly all of these run on windows only so I either get a laptop that can run Windows OR get Parallels or Boot Camp for my MacBook Pro but I would need to beef up my memory I believe. This is where I need some help. What route would you suggest?
I’ve been looking at Woot and I could most likely get a computer for a reasonable price although it will probably be a refurbished model.
What specs should I look for if getting a new computer?
Going with my current MacBook Pro I think I would need more memory to handle running Parallels or Boot Camp as well as multiple Console Software programs.
My current CPU stats are;
OSX Yosemite 10.10.5
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
HD Capacity: 250GB - 51GB Available
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Would you recommend using Parallels or Boot Camp, I don’t have experience with either on. I was think I could either use an external Hard Drive to run the additional software or get a large SD card to keep in the side of my computer and put all addition software on that (if you can separate it out like that).
What type of space should I expect software and subsequent files take up?
I know that’s a lot to ask but if some people could chime in that would be great.
Also, if you have thoughts and opinions on which consoles you like/dislike for application like this it’d be great to hear.
Thank you all for any advice
