Hi George. Yes aware that the latest MacBook Pro doesn't support below
Windows 8. The last MacBook Pro to support Windows 7 is mid 2014 and it
looks like the last MacBook Air to support running Windows 7 under Bootcamp
was early 2014. Wouldn't try to run Sonar on VM Ware as it's best to run
Sonar 8.5.3 in a totally separate environment E.G. on Windows 7 Professional
under Bootcamp.
Personally have gone for reconditioned Macs from Apple as I can save a bit
of money there. Anyway, for anyone interested here's the info on which
MacBooks support Windows 7:

Hi Phil and anyone looking at MacBook Pro systems, do please read on.
BEWARE, having just purchased one of the very latest MacBook Pro systems, I
found to my amazement, horror and disgust that Apple's Boot Camp no longer
supports Windows 7 Professional, only 8, 8.1 and 10. Even the UK Apple
Support technician I spoke to didn't know this until he made enquiries
within Apple. So it's official.
I sent more money on VM Ware, which did allow me to install Windows, but
that seems to cause problems when running certain Word 2010 add ins.
Finally in sheer desperation, I have installed Windows 10 having had to
actually purchase a copy of Windows 10.
I will spare you all further details of the aggravation all this has caused.
George

Have used a mid 2012 13 inch Mac Book Pro here using Sonar 8.53 and Windows
7 Professional. Any good hi end laptop should work well.

I need a portable system to do radio shows, often including phone

laptop, or a desk top?
If one can use it as a laptop system, what extra challenges might one
encounter?
