the procom software is good, and I'll probably give it a run, I use UG NX and Solidworks and they bth work very good on low end laptops. If you pick a laptop for CAD , just mke sure you have a very good external graphic card and at least a 1,6 Ghz processor (personal experience), if you also plan to do some FEM , you should go with a faster processor. Hope I could help, don't know about the macbook.
