Hi,

Does anyone know if I purchase the latest  MAC Book Pro and Install Windows 7 using boot camp will FSX work good or decent  including Service Packs and Accelerator?.

Does anyone have experience in this?.

My personal gut  feeling is,  that FSX will work good on the macbook pro (Currently I am  running FSX   on my 5 year old IBM T42 which runs decent) as Apple is using  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated and NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processors.

Its a matter of trial and error in worst case scenario I can return the Macbook within the 14 days from the Date of Sale.

I also googled up a great artical on this topic and I think it will work:
