I need a laptop to record band rehearsals with my stereo mic and burn rehearsal cds for band members afterwords quickly. I noticed 24x burners on ebay for $150 that fit in Lombard or Pismo Powerbook G3s so it seems like I could buy them all for around $500. Does anyone know if this is my best solution and/or if any other lowend/earlier mac portables (ie. Wallstreet) can support internal cd burners?

Wow, thanks for all the info! I thought Lombard and Pismo (Bronze) machines have audio in jacks? The following links mention it anyway:
(Lombard) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58341 (Pismo) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58593 Regarding USB, how fast can USB1 devices transfer data? I ask because I want to burn cds at least 24x. My Toast software says I need at least 4MB per sec data transfer and I think to remember that USB1, found on older powerbooks, isn't that fast. That's why I was leaning towards an internal cd-burner, not to mention the simplicity of having an all in one audio recording/cd burning machine. I also thought about getting a used ibook but again I wasn't sure about data transfer speed of it's usb and firewire ports. Only the new portable macs come with combo drives that are 24x cdr burners. |
