Hi Righteous Bullet!
Change the "If" in your sentence to "WHEN you get a Mac laptop." I'm going to give you some great advice that you'll thank me for later if you follow it: Get the biggest, most expensive Mac laptop you can get. In the long run, you won't regret it. I bought my 17-incher back in November with my CompUsa credit card (which allows you to pay off the balance in 6 months with 0% interest) and it rocks my world! The 40G hard drive will fill up before you know it. Even if you get a hard drive twice that size, you still need an external hard drive if you're doing audio (LaCie makes a fabulous 200G external firewire drive that just blazes!). Get all the RAM you can get, too. In the world of Macs and audio, don't settle for a "cheaper end" laptop that will "do fine." You'll find out very quickly that "doing fine" is not what you want in the long run. Well, I've said, "In the long run" three times now, so I guess I'm starting to repeat myself. I'll stop now because it's 2:48 am and I'm just a little bit loopy. I reaaaaaaly hope you spring for the big honkin' Mac instead of the cheap-end "it'll do" Mac. Yours Truly, hahaworld |
