I know its a biased forum, but is there any advantage to getting a Mac over a PC. I was set to buy the G4 15" powerbook w/ 512MB of RAM for about USD$2600 ot use with cubase sx, but I realized that for the same price I can get a pc with twice as much memory and a processor with double the speed, and I I've herad that cubase runs much better on a pc. But, mac users swear by their computers. Any thoughts.

I didnt get a mac for it's beauty. I got a mac because I am one of the lucky ones who was born and raised with one. Dating back to the SE through to a 6500 to a G4 400 now I have an 867.
Getting back to the topic. it must be known that you cant simply compare the speed of a mac and PC by the number of their processor. ie. a G4 1gig isnt the same as a pentium 1gig. the G4 will be like 3 times faster (when using the correct software.) Good software for audio and graphics is usually made for mac beacuase its BETTER. Especially Logic (apple now ownes). I have a mate who decided to put togethor his own PC using an athalon processor. Dont get me wrong, im sure he thought he was doing the right thing (athalon are good for audio ) until the thing decided not to even start up (wrong motherboard). Now he wishes he just got a mac. Macs are arcitectually designed better than PC's inside and out. Only downfall is of course they cost more! But once you start with one you will NEVER look back (I promise). |
