Be prepared to replace it every couple of years as Apple make its OS updates very limited to the age of the hardware! Don't ask me how I know, but I have an iMac 2007 sat on the end of my desk as a paperweight, even though it's a better hardware spec than some of my later development machines, it's only got Snow Leopard (2009) on it because anything later isn't compatible ... according to Apple!I'm getting to a point where I need to upgrade my PC and am considering going to a MAC instead.
Obviously only if you install Windows on your Apple, or run something like Parallels. With the money you're willing to spend on a Mac you might as well just get a top spec Dell, HP or Asus.I'm getting to a point where I need to upgrade my PC and am considering going to a MAC instead.
Is it possible to run Alibre on a Mac? I don't recall any posts to this extent and searching didn't reveal any answers.
Please advise

I've been running Alibre Expert on a 2019 16" MacBook Pro for a few years now with no issues. Of course I use it with Parallels. Do I wish it ran natively on Mac? You bet but I can understand how it just isn't feasible for a small company like Alibre to maintain two complete versions for the two different operating systems. I loathe Windows passionately but am forced to own a half dozen of them for my CNC machines. I just keep them dumb and make them do only one thing at a time and keep them offline at all times to avoid upgrades and they work well under those circumstances.I'm getting to a point where I need to upgrade my PC and am considering going to a MAC instead.

Not necessarily the case. A good high resolution IPS OLED display on a PC is just as good, if not better. Apples 'retina' displays are just a hyped marketing term (the human eye is the limiting factor on resolution, not the display!). Many LCD panels in Apple devices are made by Samsung and are just mid/high end, sold on as high value items. On a PC you get to choose the quality/resolution/type of display you want/need, that's the only difference.I have always heard that its display/graphics are superior to those of the PC/windows.
