What laptop is best for online trading and general business?

[David]

I have been told a Mac is good, how well does it work with Microsoft Vista?

A mac is a computer for people that are into music not business. Perhaps the line you are looking for is with IBM. I know my dad's work,(with stocks), only trust IBM. He says, "An IBM just screams business."

Mac is with apple, vista is with Microsoft. They are not compatible.

I would not recommend using vista for trading personal information though, because there are a lot of hole/ glitches, where wood-be hackers try to steal your identity. I'd go with XP Pro, its a good OS. I'd only trust Vista after the serves packs come out for it.

Hope it helps you out.

general business i recommend any laptop this really depends on how active your business is or inactive depending on customers. macs and microsoft based laptops are both good, macs i believe are more expensive. online trading as in stocks, the laptop may need more ram and hardrive space to handle the data recieved from high bandwith internet connection for constant updates of stock quotes. depends on how active you are.
