I'm getting ready to upgrade from a B/W G3 350. I would like to run Reason 2.0 and Cubase SX w/ Rewire (OS X). I'm debating between a dual 1.25 Mac and an 876 mhz or 1 gig Powerbook. Has anyone worked with either of these setups? I'm thinking about going portable because we have a baby on the way and I don't want to be making a lot of noise at home (I have about 3 hours to kill between shows on my gig and it would be great to get some work done.)
Thanks for any input. |

 I think gidfiddler is on track, if you are a business I'd suggest a desktop first. If you encounter common hardware problems, with a desktop, parts may be available at any computer shop. The components in laptops are more specialized or proprietary, and your only repair option may be a return to Apple, or an authorized dealer. If a hardrive fails in my desktop, in ten minutes I can go to CompUSA and be up and running in less than an hour. But if your hardrive dies on a laptop it's a trip to the shop. For my business, I would use a laptop as a secondary machine. I'm in the decision making process now for a laptop.
