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 tried a dual 1.2 with a 20" monitor in a shop . it only had 256 megs ram . I have to say it was the fastest most responsive machine I have tried . really slick .
there wasn't much background noise in the shop it seemed really quite to me . this was a big problem with old desktops . unless you require portablility I would go with something like this . they are just much more powerful versatile machines and will serve you for longer time . the other thing is only buy when you have the time to use , because if you buy it later you will get cheaper or more powerful machine for same money . if you need portability buy 2nd hand laptop and have good desktop as well . good luck . |
