Best MacBook configuration for scalping using NinjaTrader?

  1. Given what is available on Apple's website at this time what is the best hardware & software configuration to perform DOM scalping strategies trading YM and/or ES?

    Price is not an option. I am only interested in a MacBook Pro. Please hold your opinions/comments on internet speed at this time.

    Thanks

    I have both the 27 imac and the new macbook pro quad core.

    I trade using parallels on the imac with 8gb or ram using X Trader. I have also used Ninja on this system via parallels and it runs native, its about the connection. I run windows 7 64 bit on both machines. The macbook pro via bootcamp. And to answer your question Ninja ran like a dream via both setups. Using macs for years since I was able to bootcamp and have never had a problem. Remember if you really want a peace of mind just use bootcamp it is completely native as using a PC you would buy from DELL or LENOVO, without the bloatware, that is probably the main reason so many report great windows experiences on their macs.
