I am running around work here today (in a loop) like a chicken with
it's ass on fire. Sorry, but the old "head cut off" is a bit too graphic for
some of the younger member's fragile sensibilities. I just got WAAAAY ahead
of myself and I do apologize. Last time I checked there were practically no
specialized or optimized music PCs with over 2 gig of ram.
I was referring to, and without making any intelligible reference to, the
optimized PCs for around 2000.00 USD per my initial post. Yep, you can get
pretty much anything you want if you have enough money. No question.
The point is the fact you can get VERY capable and excellent
optimized PC laptops for 2K and where as (unlike PCs) you can get killer
performance from the Mac Book Pros right out of the box, it will cost a hell of
a lot more money (roughly twice). Other than 4gig of RAM, what are you getting
that is black n white superior? Hmmm?
What can these magic Macs do that comparable PCs cannot?
Why do the majority of audio software developers start with PCs and add Mac
drivers later once the Mac attack reaches a deafening
crescendo ?
If I could have any laptop that I am personally familiar with right now for
free, it would be the grand daddy Mac Book Pro. No question and I have always
stated, they are the most quality mass production computer on the planet. Only
thing, I had 2500.00 big ones and I must say, my MusicXPC M4x kicks sum serious
tail for a system that I would have had to spend close to twice that for to get
any better a system at the time. The ONLY improvement would have been more
RAM.
bye, back to work, hope I didn't botch this one up too much! Peace,me
IMO, there is POSITIVELY NO ADVANTAGE from an average to above
average musician/dj/music related application stand point to using
ether a PC or Mac unless you are talking strictly laptops.
I thought we were talking laptops here, but are you sure?
POSITIVELY NO ADVANTAGE is a very strong phrase, man. You've disproven
all possible cases where there could be an advantage? That seems like a
blanket statement. I'm sure it is correct in some contexts, but this seems
like a situational context to me, where there is a lot of systematic
relativity at play.
The hardware as is currently made available to the Mac Book Pro user
is superior to any PC laptop that I am currently familiar with. This is
strictly based on their capacity for RAM. (2gig PC - 4gig Mac)
Heh? What are you talking about? I can go out right now and buy
10 laptops from 10 different PC manufacturers, with 4gig of RAM. What do
you mean by superior?
Everything else you will hear here or on ANY forum is merely personal
opinion based on limited experience.
You mean like saying one piece of hardware is "Superior" to
another based on an incorrect assumption? :)
