Hello,
a couple of points, depending on your interest:
- Mac OS X for Intel won't emulate Altivec. So, if IDL makes any use of
it, IDL might not run. OTOH, unlike SSE, Altivec never supported double
precision so it's likely IDL won't use it.
- If you don't care about Mac OS X and just want Apple's tradicional
quality in laptops, you might be able to install Linux on it.
