I only have the Mac book. But to me in general Apple products are just very simple to use.

Unfortunately, this product only runs on Windows. If you have VMWare or Parallels, you can run a Windows virtual machine on your Mac and install this in the virtual machine.

Depends what you mean by a basic computer. The macbook air is super thin and light which is great for everyday use or travel, but it's also lighting fast to operate. It is pretty expensive for a "basic" laptop, but if you want convenience, lightweight and speed, this is your guy. Not to mention the Mac OSX system which beats any Windows operated system. If you want all these features but don't want to shell out the cash, an Ultrabook may be a bit less expensive. Also worth noting, you could hook up your macbook air via thunderbolt to an external monitor and use it as your "main" computer. My 2013 Air is 10 times faster than my 2011 15" macbook pro.

It depends on the one you purchase. On the page it ask if you want to buy the PC version or the Mac version, personally I have no experience with a Mac so.

The lowest OS it will run on is 10.3, and a G4/G5 power pc. See what generation PowerPC you are. It'll be slow on an iBook, I have it running on an 07 Mac mini with intel processor and it runs smooth for the most part, but it's does use a lot of ram and lags a bit at those times.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

Absolutely better. Boot Camp uses both processor cores and all your RAM, whereas Parallels cannot.

The mac book pro is better than Hp's laptop computers. I have used both the Hp dv6t and the mac book pro computers. The mac operating software is better than Windows 7. The track pad on the mac book pro is far better and more accurate that the "gesture pad" on the Hp laptop computers. If you could afford the mac, then go for the mac. The mac apps are also cool and readily available.

I have a PC and a MAC once I got used to the differences which didn't take much time at all, I never went back to my PC again. For music and pictures the MAC is an excellent choice

Am not a fan of Apple but dos work . Myself I prefer PC but you need a pretty fast PC and a power full graphic card .. Awesome game ..

I would think that it does not matter whether it is a Mac or PC at the client end. However, I never worked with Mac.

It's very difficult question. It depends what do you plan to do. I got iMac and Mac Pro. If you don't need computer when travelling and most of the time work at home on it I would take iMac.

I would say use bootcamp to use windows on the mac, as for the powerbook itself I believe that it should support the game, though I don't know if it supports controllers or not

You can run Publisher on MAC as well as other window based programs with either of two different methods. You can bootcamp your MAC and run Windows on a portion of your hard drive, but you must boot to either the MAC OS or Windows side. THE EASIEST is to install the Parallels for MAC cost about $79.00. You then install your windows operating systems, and then you can run any Windows program side by side with your MAC programs. I love MAC but had 2 Windows programs I had to use WORKS GREAT!!

You can actually run Windows (any flavor) on the mac using VirtualBox. Once you have that in place you can run any Windows application in your mac

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac. The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

Looks like same performance (speed) specs; the 'C' version claims Mac and PC compatibility; presumably the 'B' version is PC only
