Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi is anyone out there running P6 (any version) stand alone on an Apple MacBook. Any info on compatability, performance & pitfalls would be appreciated. Regards Tim Isaac

Hi Tim,

Glad I could help...my 15" Macbook Pro works great. Some of our guys have said that their Macbook Pros run Windows better than their old Dell laptops :-)

Good luck,

Emily

Thanks Emily looks good. I will do some further research on Apple products before I take the plunge.

Hi Guys,

Here's a link explaining the options to run Primavera P6 on a Mac i.e. using Boot Camp and Virtual Machines. It also shows a screen shot of a MacBook Pro running Primavera P6 R8.2 http://bit.ly/zIVM4X

I hope this helps,

Emily

Hi Guys,

It runs great on my Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel i7 with 8 GB RAM. I have it running using Boot Camp into Windows 7 but have also tried it using VMWare Fusion (which is a bit slower just because of VMWare...still not a problem though.
