depending on how serious you are with your production, a G4 1.67 ghz powerbook should be enough - just add a gig or 2 of ram ($500 for two 1-gig chips) and get a decent external soundcard and it should be enough for most production suites

check "Mac Market" 4th and Macdonald. They have great deals

Decent price, and lots of power?

its called a PC that's not online.



Seriously.... the internet is the sole reason why Windows is as flaky as it is. If you never show it the light of the internet, it'll be just as solid as any Mac. Not to mention way less gay looking.

please note, its more expensive to upgrade the ram in an imac.

yea, you've been lied to - you might be thinking of the 12 inch that has a hard-wired 256meg chip and only one RAM slot - that can only go up to 1.25gbs, but the 15" and 17" have 2 available slots so you can put 2 seperate 1-gig ram chips in there.

this sounds like someone who spends too much money on drugs

Macs are 20X better than PC's for audio production/editing and for video editing.

There's a reason that you'll never find an Avid machine made from a PC.
Sure, you can run an avid emulator.. but its like pro tools. You need the hardware.

[Leviathan]

So does that mean he is suppose to buy a windows machine and never get on the net with it?

The thing I like about OS X is that it is actually built with audio in mind.

It also has its own midi / audio hardware set up preference, so you can configure everything globally. That and it has logic , not that I'm any good at using it.

Sure OSX is better for audio, but macs are still overpriced for what they are, and not all that nessasary if you reall know your shit.



Whatever though.. I'm sure there will be OSX for X86 soon enough

[Rytalin]

Macs are worth it IMO if you are doing alot of paid production/editing work, and will make the arm + leg you paid for it back real quick...... pr if you want to use Logic.

PC's are shite. Virus carriers. OSX is iron clad. I used PC's for years until the day I tried a mac and I will never go back.
