You can boot camp a Mac and run Windows natively so no loss of power. However, 3D stuff requires a decent gpu, something apple always avoids putting in its machines for some reason.
You could give it a go on your current machine though?

Hey, thanks for this-it's something I already tried before with zero success-the late 2012 model I've got apparently won't support it which is something I wish I'd known before spunking on Microsoft and upgrading the RAM. My screen is also tiny so it would be better to get a 17".
With my budget I'll just have to look into desktops and do the inevitable thrice daily bike sprints across town unless I find something really good second hand.

Looking for some advice on possible foray into PC ownership as I need to use Autodesk 3D modelling and design software and it mostly seems to be aimed at/compatible with the PC market.
As someone who's been Apple-only for about 15 years and tried very unsuccessfully to run programs on Parallels I have about a gnat's fart worth of information about what spec I should be looking for and a decent price.
Anyone use similar and have any insight?
