Very positve exerience with a 12" 1GHz PowerBook with 768 RAM and an 80 GB HD. Get as much RAM as you can afford, third party suppliers like crucial.com are cheaper than Apple.
A couple of years ago, I was doing work experience in a Windows based recording studio. On the Compac Presario laptop they used, with the regular Office software and WaveLab (which I think is quite good) they spent 30 -45 minutes EVERY DAY just troubleshooting. The desktop machines had audio software only, because things like internet access would confuse them too much. And basic things like insering silence in a track in Nuendo still failed. They considered flying in a guy from Switzerland back then, who could set up the system, so it would actually work. The studio is closed down by now :-) |
