I have been waiting for a couple of months now to see what is best for me to buy in the Powerbook line. Making music is something I want to experiment with, it will not be my main thing to do.

I have been thinking of getting a 12" PB, and a 17" flat panel display.
60 Gigs hard drive, max Ram. Should this serve me well?
800 Firewire not a big deal?
Gigabit Ethernet not a big deal?

Thinking of buying Live, Reason, and Oxygen or Edirol, as was suggested.

As always, thanks in advance for your wisdom.

Hi Raygun,
Thanks for your input.

The 12" comes also with the Superdrive, and I was going to get a 17" flat panel display to go with it. So from what you write, that leaves me considering the importance of the L3 cache and the extra speed of the processor. Can you tell me how this impacts things?

The 15" once it comes out with the new case could be a good idea. With that I would not need to external display.

And also since I am not even a beginner yet, what is the importance of an external hard drive? Not just for storage since audio will take up a lot of space?
