Mac users: PLEASE USE BOOT CAMP Windows only;
DO NOT DO THIS:
— Get a Netbook/Ultrabook/Chromebook. Not enough power.
— Get a Lenovo we prefer. Recently users are finding many problems with Lenovo and its bloatware.
— Install McAfee, Norton, Avast, AVG, Bit Defender. Many technical support issues we deal with relate to Norton, Bit Defender, AVG, Avast and McAfee programs blocking the download or installation of the software or drivers or causing lagging in software performance.
— Use VMware (Parallels, etc.). It can be problematic with the amount of data sent through the COM ports from amplifiers. We cannot support Pocket Neurobics driver problems on machines that use virtual machines. That is why Boot Camp is required for Mac users.
