Been a PC user from the beginning. Bought a Mac Mini for personal use a couple of years ago and love it. Need a new computer and considering Mac. Can any Revit Mac users share their experiences/thoughts?

Im running Revit on a MBP through bootcamp. Not a big fan of Parallel if you do serious work

Thank you for your reply.

If I understand boot camp, you either boot into the Mac or the Windows operating systems, but not both. If that is the case, then while working with Revit, do you have access to any of your Mac programs or apps functionality, or are you "cut off"?

The only work I do with Revit is serious, so please share with me what didn't work well when you tried it with Parallel.

You are cutoff from the applications but not the files. If you are using Paralles you are not cut off from both.
The simple answer to Parallel is that you don;t have hardware acceleration, big issue when using decent models :)
