I am considering purchasing an Apple laptop and was wondering if there are any issues running M Config and firmware updates with the latest Mac products or do I still need to have Windows for the best results.
Thanks

No issues, but you will need to run Widows on your Mac via an emulator (Bootcamp, VMware or Parallels)
I have a Mac but prefer to keep it free and clear of Windows, so I use an old/cheap windows laptop that I use exclusively for Meridian config.

I use VMWare and have met with no problems running legacy Config.
I use the Keyspan USB-Serial adapter which is the Meridian approved one. (I didn't think it worth saving a few bucks getting anything else.)

I use Parallels with a Keyspan USB-serial adapter. Works fine with M-Config. Its the one and only Windows program I have on my MacBook. When researching on this and other forums the Keyspan adapter was HIGHLY recommended.

And I can confirm that Bootcamp works fine too - no problems aside from the pain of booting/rebooting.
