    Hello all,

    I would really like to run MS Office through Windows and I don't want to purchase a new PC laptop for that reason alone, so I've been doing some research (Bootcamp vs. Parallels). However, I am concerned about the specs of my MacBook; whether they are suitable to run Parallels smoothly.

    I have a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro with:

    Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz
    Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Running OS X Yosemite and I have 90 GB of free storage on HD

    Will I be able to run Parallels smoothly on a MacBook with these specs? I would be working with Excel (some macros) and Word mostly.

    Thanks all!

    Update: I'm planning on upgrading my RAM to 8GB.
