Running sw2007 on both our macbook pro's and they are running fine!
Only problem we have is hangups caused by the wireless connection (not sw related)

  Hello Rogier-
  
  Thanks for the information.
  
  What specific model are you using? What is the video card? Are there any video issues when editing large assemblies or their drawings?
  
  Thanks in advance.

    The only down fall of useing it on a macbook pro is the same a useing most any laptop. Grafix. the Mac book pro uses a Radeon Chip witch is designed for mapping textures not vector line data. (Gaming vs. CAD) so it can work fine if you use software GL and turn on the Anti-Alising. oh yeah make sure that you max out the ram on it also. Remember that the Mac Pro ( the workstation desktop model) has an option for a QuadroFX card witch is awsome for SolidWorks.
