I am looking at laptops to bring stuff to rehersals. I am really not impressed by the cheasy PC notebooks out there. The hardware can be a joke.
I had an iMac 33mhz and was always struggling with how slow it was. So I'm kinda worried about stepping into the sub-gig world of processors. But am hoping OSX makes up for it. I plan on using Ableton modestly, as well as some sort of replacment for Fruity Loops to assemble loops. What can I expect in terms of preformance? |

Ableton Live is VERY power hungry. A 600MHz iBook might struggle to run more than 8 tracks at once - at least mine does. Saying that, my iBook can run 16 tracks or more in Logic 6 quite happily, so it's not necessarily the processor that slows you down, it's the application.
