Hey everybody,
I'd like to start off by saying that this is my first post on the forum.  Anyway, I've been a PC user almost as long as I can remember, and I've been recently considering Macintosh to do all of my music production on. I've been hearing lots of news that Macs are soon to use Intel processors and I was wondering if I should wait until the new wave of Mac has begun. I'd like to have my own musical computer as soon as I can, but if it really is worth it, I will wait a bit longer before getting one. What do you think? |

Yeah, what he said.
If you need a computer now, buy one now - they're plenty fast enough (even the iBooks are pretty nippy for modest productions, editing and mastering). Then in a couple of years' time you can upgrade and get an even faster Intel-powered Mac that Apple have spent the previous two years perfecting. How much you want to spend is also a factor. If you sprang for a Quad Core PowerMac G5 right now, that might keep you happy until something like 2010! |
