Re: st: Stata on Mac or PC
I would probably make this decision based on your preferences for the
OS overall, because Stata is pretty much indistinguishable across the
platforms. I've run Stata 10 under Windows, Linux (X-windows), and
now run Stata MP/2 on a MacBook Pro. It is very fast and acts very
"Mac-like", so it is a very smooth process. Taking advantage of some
of Mac's under-pinnings, I have built some little tweaks that allow me
to, for example, open fully formatted regression tables in Word
without any additional user input. Convenient when viewing multiple
regressions. I'm sure one can do exactly the same under other systems.
I prefer Macs and love using Stata in that environment. Of course, OS
choices are very person-specific.
Good luck.

Dear all,
I have a non-Stata question, but I need an answer to use stata at
its best!
So far I have used Stata 9.2 SE on my laptop (IBM T series), but now
I have to give it back to my department and I have some doubts. I'm
choosing between the new version of IBM T Series and Macbook pro. My
old IBM worked very well, but I like also the Macbook pro.
Unfortunately I don't have colleagues or friends who use Stata on a
Mac machine. Could anyone give me some feedback? Has anyone done any
comparison? Good functioning of Stata will be an essential variable
in my decision..
Thanks a lot,
Stefano
