In February, Intuit will release a long-awaited update to the Mac desktop version of Quicken. The new software has been renamed again. When it appears on shelves with the retail price of $69.99, it will be labeled “Quicken Essentials for Mac.” You can pre-order Quicken Essentials for Mac now and receive $10 off the full price.
Before you buy the software, understand its limitations when compared with the various Windows-based versions of the desktop software. While Quicken Essentials for Mac will track the value of your investments, it does not handle the level of detail that you find in other versions of the software, including the previous version of their Apple-based software, Quicken Mac 2007. If you want to track daily investment activity including transactions, Quicken Essentials for Mac will disappoint.
Quicken Essentials for Mac will not work directly with Intuit’s TurboTax so you cannot use your data in Quicken to speed up tax filing. Read Quicken’s product information page for more features and limitations.
I’m not a Mac user, but I understand that Intel-based Macs can often run Windows programs. My preference would be to run a Windows desktop version of Quicken, such as Quicken Home & Business 2010. Intuit is currently offering 50% off other Quicken products. I use Quicken Home & Business on my Windows-based computer almost every day.
