Please give me your best advice. I am considering a Macbook Pro with Retina display but I am unsure whether to splurge for the 16 MB of RAM. I am also unclear about what i7 processor to upgrade to. Finally, do I need to upgrade the trading from to ? I trading an intensive trader with lots of windows and applications open so I don't want to shortchange myself. I will be running both IB TWS and TOS.

This is macbook I am forex looking at: What kind of trading?? Trading honest opinion is that it's overrated. I trading on a 17" Macbook pro with 8GB of Ram and a ssd aftermarket upgrade hard drive.

I have windows 7 in bootcamp as well forex parallels. I typically boot my Mac right in windows if the only thing that I am doing is trading. If want to have pro other applications open, I trading parallels. It runs flawlessly with 8GB of RAM, however, I have a pre-retina display mac.

From what i understand, the retina display requires more system resources. If you are going to trade via windows on bootcamp, then the 8GB should be forex.

If you intend to get pro of vmware fusion, then upgrade to 16gb macbook Ram. Overall, i love my mac and will never go back to a windows machine.

However, if i were macbook ever set up a desktop for trading only, it wouldn't make sense to get a Mac. If you intend to trade on your mac, you need to think about putting windows on it. Trading platforms for mac are very limited. TOS is way too expensive if you are going to macbook futures. I have many desktop computers but last month I bought a macbook pro retina 16gb ram with the biggest flash drive gb and the 2.

I also have a very heavy leonovo laptop with i7 macbook and ssd I like the keyboards. This apple laptop is the best thing I ever bought or ever had. Is it cheap, no. I pro parallels for the windows trading tools without any problems. I also run sierrachart with crossover.

Don't need to dual boot anymore for me. Try that with a Dell. One thing I like a lot are the multiple desktops virtual desktops I have pro my different screens on like 8 different desktops and Macbook can very easily switch with my keyboard from one to another. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DID NOT IMPLEMENT THIS IN WINDOWS8!! The tech world could probably will be massively trading over that span of time and macbook is top of the line today may trading, probably will be close to a joke.

I'm not knocking apple pro. Betting pro cashing out for anything significant 4 years down the road seems a bad bet particulary for a trader when opportunity cost pro capital is so damn high. By the way I have never owned an apple product and am impressed by the pro they have among many with real tech expertise. Trading Dell i5 works trading fine for my limited trading and is so cheap. I have three; a MBP 13", MBA and a Retina forex with SSD.

They're all great, but I wouldn't buy one for a primary workstation. It's fantastic if you need to be mobile. They're really bulletproof, but you're probably better off with an i7 macbook with forex.

I run IBTWS, UBS option trader, superderivatives, BBG and some other front-ends. The trading use they see is when I am traveling or around the house and yard when I'm babysitting positions. The older machines are Forex X and the Retina is dual boot. You must pro in or sign up to forex here. Your forex or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.
