I switched from a MacBook to a Dell XPS 15 a couple of years ago when I started using TS. Have accounts at TS, TOS, IB. Switching back to MacBook Pro in the fall when the M1x/M2 comes out. Will run Parellels. Tradestation is a very unstable program to begin with. It crashes/freezes A LOT. Hoping to gain some stability by going back to Mac. Had same logic- better to buy a windows computer. My conclusion after doing so is that it’s not.

    (Waiting for new chip because M1 doesn’t run multiple monitors natively)

    I'll add that those infinity screens on the Dell's are nice, almost borderless vs the Mac's with the bezels. That said, Dell a lot of bugs and problems quality control issues.

    M1 is a great chip on Mac but yes still not there for doing what you want - maybe M2 or M1X or something

    Yeah TS has issues, though I rarely crashes for me anymore, but it gets bogged down at times when market is moving too fast and you have too many workspaces open. 

    I have a cool day trade setup for stocks - best to keep minimal workspaces open so that it's fast when trading that. I'll show that off sometime.
