Hey Crunchers, need some advice. It's been a while since I've been into the modding thing, my PS3 is getting re-ball work done and will be ready soon. I currently have a huge POS desktop that's older than my ps2, so it's time to upgrade.
I own a MacBook Pro, but of course the tools used to mod won't run on it. I don't want to piss around with dual booting OS, so I will just buy a Windows laptop. Here's where I need the advice, all new machines come with either 8.1 or Windows 10. My old PC is (barely) running windows 7, so I'm a little worried if there will be compatibility issues with any of the current tools/menus/RTM's etc. Here's where you experienced and knowledgeable folks come in!
What do you recommend for the laptop purchase? I plan to use it exclusively with the PS3 and modding, nothing else. I would like to hear what you guys are using and your thoughts on the performance and reliability of your laptop.
