planning on buying a solver
Hy, I'm planning on buying a solver but I'm not sure it can run on my mac. I've read that you need a pretty strong computer to do it so I assume I would need to replace my macbook. I still want to make sure because I previously saw Peter Clarke using it on a mac in one of his videos, here's a link: https://www.runitonce.com/poker-training/videos/025050-6-max-zoom-hand-history-revi/ (10:30, he is using an app that can run windows on mac os). I think he's probably just using some stronger desktop mac, but I would still like to know if it can maybe work on a macbook pro if anyone had tried it before.
If I need to buy a new computer, what specs are required and approximately how much does a computer like that cost?
I've also found a tool on the internet called poker scientist, it's basically a browser based GTO solver, you can check out how it works on their website, here's a link: https://www.poker-scientist.com and a video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH0azNYHbWE
Could this be a good alternative to solvers like PIO/GTO+?
Thanks:)

A decent CPU and 16GB RAM will do for most solutions you want to run.
If you are buying a new PC anyway, I would suggest more RAM.
As far as that solver goes, no experience with it and have not heard of it before.
PokerScientist is not a solver, it just presents solved solutions.
I have both GTO+ and PIO and I'd recommend GTO+ for a couple reasons. First it's cheaper and if you also get flopzilla pro you can do pretty much anything PIO does. Second there are a lot of solved solutions online (we also have a group where we share them) for GTO+ so you can get a good library faster.
What computer to get would be tougher, maybe shoot me a private message and we discuss it there, just ordered one for that exact purpose.
Henry lister has made a video about poker scientist, you can check it and see if suits to you.

I Don't have any solver but to be honest if I wanted to buy one I would probably buy the gto+. I have seen videos in Rio from coaches that use it and looks more "playful" than pio which sometimes is a little bit boring and chaotic.
One of the best thing about GTO+ Is a training mode for any solution. So you can play range vs range on one or more boards. Really nice tool
I had just been touting different things about Power Equilab but quite frankly: I had no idea what I was doing with FlopzillaPro or GTO+ until tonight. So many features, graphs, and charts that I was unaware of. FZPro along with GTO+ are definitely better than Power Equilab at this point. Running the two of them side by side in dark mode is just plain enjoyable.
After watching Henry Lister's video on Poker scientist I decided to start with it, it has a lot of solved solutions so it should keep me busy for a long time. Will also purchase stronger computer for GTO+ after earning enough money. Thank you all for your help.
There is also GTO wizard witch is in beta that presents solved gto spots you can ask it anything they are bringing out more stuff such as the ability to analyse your full database to see where you deviated from gto aggregate reports and more have a look you get a free 24hrs to use it fully then its pay monthly and its browser based its like 50 bucks a month
