I second the Mac comments. For elegance and ease of use, it's Mac hands down. And my little iBook (which runs every program I throw at it) only cost $1100. Add a USB or Firewire audio interface and you're set. My only complaint is how long it's taking software companies to write OS X versions of their programs. MOTU is porting Digital Performer and Bias has already ported Deck, but Digidesign (I use PTFree) is dragging their heels. I'm hoping that Apple's working on some Logic fueled audio program of their own (ala Final Cut Pro). Not that it's THAT big a deal...I only recently switched my non-audio life to OS X, so I just reboot into 9 when I'm working on audio. I have a feeling we'll see most programs OS X by the end of the year. <End Apple Propaganda> -12 >> I'd shopping around for a new laptop that will be my >> primary workstation. >> >> right now I'd leaning towards a refurbished SONY VAIO >> fx-300. >> >> any opinions on this, insight as VAIO performance as a >> workstation? i know dt has one on his gear list, but >> does anyone else use a VAIO? >> >> obviously i'm aware that performance is based on the >> hardware in the computer, as opposed to the brand >> name's on computers. i'm just open any >> suggestions/thoughts on this one. >> >> can i run logic platinum on a laptop w/ a PIII 1.0 >> Ghz, >> 256+ megs of RAM, and be relatively assured of smooth >> performance? what else do i REALLY need to take into >> account? >> >> i don't feel like dealing with dell, their laptops >> don't come w/ hard drives above 2400 rpm, to my >> knowledge, and toshiba is way out of my price range >> right now.
