Ok, I realize this isn't a GIS forum but hoping someone can help me out. I'm taking a GIS class this summer for grad school and running into issues.
I'm trying to load base maps in an arc map on my Mac through Parallels. It's so slow it's pretty much useless. I can do just about anything with Arc on my mac, but as soon as I need to load an Arc basemap it's so slow it's virtually unusable.
I've already adjusted the settings to allow as much RAM as allowable to go to Parallels and it's still worthless once I try and add a basemap.
Any tips, or can anyone point me to a cheap MS laptop I can buy for the remainder of my class? I don't need anything fancy, and I don't want to spend a lot. I could use a back-up PC at home so I'm not opposed to buying one, but I also don't really need it. At this point if it makes doing my Arc homework faster I'm open to buying something. This is getting way too slow to be productive.
