Hi, everyone. May I ask a very general question? I am going to buy a laptop. I am going to do a lot of structural biology work on it using programs such as CCP4, Phenix, Coot and Pymol. Mac or PC, which is better? I have never installed this kind of programs and done structural biology work on laptops except using Pymol. Will these programs cause any problems when they are run on laptops? I mean, will they slow down very much or even freeze the laptops? Can the programs finish the jobs at an OK speed? I mean, maybe not as fast as desktops, but not taking too long like days or weeks.
Sorry if this question is stupid. I hope to have your advice. Thank you. HS
