new macbook pros retina GO --or no go?

HI all 


I am about to purchase ,either a HP elite book , or a macbook pro retina .......the mac gives me more compatibility among my friends who use all mac ....
 

I am wondering ,if SONARX2 runs flawless and PRO like under bootcamp on new macbook pros .... 

I installed sonar X2 ona macbook pro intel duo with W7 ultimate,it had popps and crackles in sonar ; but only when i scrolled something or moved a clip ...so it had to do with its grafix card ???? 
I was kinda shocked .............I hope with new macs this is not like this .  



kindest regards 


any one has a clue ? and REALY knows it ?

    I can't comment on the HP Elite, or the newest MacBook Pro's, but I run X2 on my bootcamped 
    2011 macbook with no problems at all.  You might want to factor in a 7200rpm hd though, 
    the standard 5400 drives are pretty useless for audio work under bootcamp.  
    There is the  option to replace the DVD drive with a second HD for audio, and use a usb 
    DVD drive instead, but this could raise portability issues.

    But generally, yeah, everything runs smoothly here.

    Of course, I'm sure there are others that have had nothing but hell with it h'ha

    * Windows10 (x64), Focusrite Safire Pro24, Sonar Platinum (x64) * MacOS High Sierra, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9 *

    I thought about it, but went with a laptop designed for audio engineering and included more than one hard drive...  It's been a great decision for me.

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.
