I am considering getting a Macbook Air and I am wondering if Houdini Apprentice is fluid enough for basic rendering (I don't know how best to explain what I mean)? I guess I am talking about I guess anything not needing a Render-Farm? I could get the Pro with SSD but I would prefer the Air for its portability(power,lightness).

Hey!
I'm using Houdini everyday on my 2 year old Macbook Air…mainly for prototyping stuff, but also for quick renderings. It works very well!!! But if you want to render Animations I would go with a workstation.
Notebooks don't have the best coolers so it doesn't matter which Notebook you have…you're going to destroy it by constantly rendering heavy stuff on it.
I'm very happy with the performance of Houdini on my Notebook and I'll buy a new Macbook Air for sure! But for serious work I'm using a workstation.
Hope this helps a bit! ;-)
