Help A Beginner With Logic Express, In need of purchase advice Options

[OneDerBoy]

Perhaps my last post was confusing. I need to know if anyone can tell me what kind of performance to expect from running Logic express on an iBook. If anyone can tell me possible problems or known limitations. I don't intend to record more than 12 tracks per song (one at a time) and even that total will be rare.

Please help. I'm getting a mac for music come hell or high water, but I want to make an informed decision. All I get from store managers is a push to buy a PowerMac. And I would love to someday, but for now I can't bloody afford it. HELP!

Thank you for your time.

unless u need the portability of a laptop, i would say an imac is better - the g5 is way more powerful and the desktop hard drives spin at a faster rate (7200 rpm vs 5400 rpm). but i LOVE the portability of the powerbook.

Thanks for the advice. I am very interested in portability as my lifestyle is a bit get-up-n-go at times. I am also most interested in the laptop mactels we should see in a few years. It's this that makes me think it would be better to get an iBook for now, rather than drop the big money on the great but soon to be antiquated higher end stuff. Yes? Any thoughts?
