Will sadly no longer need to run Softimage from this year , but in the past have done so using bootcamp. I dont use it on the battery , Only at Home or at work. In both cases its plugged into 1080p monitors where there are no scaling issues and no perceptible performance issues
Will miss Softimage but being able to run everything in Mac Os X now is a joy. ________________________________________ From: Luc-Eric Rousseau [luceri...@gmail.com] Sent: 01 January 2015 12:40 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: semi OT : running SI on a Macbook Pro I've been using a macbook pro for three years, although mostly in OSX mode obviously. You can go ask a friend with one and check it out before paying 2,500$ if running the screen in 1.5 scaling works for you. I've suggested using an external monitor instead.
