Hi,
Apols if this topic has come up b4. I'm new on here... Anyway, I'm a PC person who has thusfar hasted recording with computers but who really wants an excuse to buy a G4 laptop - because they look nice and stuff (and because I travel a lot). With Protools etc. how useable is a G4 (of, say, 1/1.5 Ghz and 500+ RAM) as a workable multitrack studio for 16+ tracks of audio (guitars, vocals and such)? I've had terrible "jitter" problems with PCs inthe past so I don't want to waste my cash if its not a realistic prospect. Yoda-like advice welcome. Cheers, Tim. P.S. Is there a G5 laptop coming out?

how portable do you have to be... i mean are u really gonna run off batteries and sit in th park?
cause if u want something more powerfull and still not to bad to lug about look at the G5 Imacs.. not much thicker than a powerbook and alls u need to do is carry a keyboard and mouse as well. I use powerbook G4 but if the imac had been the G5 I would of grabbed it.. still i love my widescreen 17" powerbook it sure does he job no worries |
