Hi I am about to buy a new computer, but want to make sure I'll be able to play ksp with nice textures and resolution.

I am considering 2 options: could anyone tell me which one would be the best and if I can expect a lot of differences between the 2 configurations?

Config 1

Apple MacBook Pro (MD103C/A) Notebook - Core i7 2.3 GHz - OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion - 4 GB RAM - 15.4" wide 1440 x 900 - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

Config 2

Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz

8 GB DDR3L SDRAM

750 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive

Windows 8.1,

15.6-Inch FHD (1920*1080)

NVIDIA GTX860M 2GB GDDR5

I would assume the second one is better but as the processors are quite similar, I was wondering if it would justify the 300$ I'd have to add for config 2...

Thanks a lot for your help!!

[What kind of Hardware do you use to run KSP]

Hi

I am considering buying an Apple MacBook Pro (MD103C/A) - Core i7 2.3 GHz - OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion - 4 GB RAM - 500 GB HDD - 15.4" wide 1440 x 900 - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M / Intel HD Graphics 4000

>> will I be able to play KSP in good conditions? Meaning what max number of pieces and detail level before it starts lagging?

Thanks a lot!!
