G4 Powerbook For "real" Audio, Any good for guitars and stuff? Options

[themightypig]

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?

I like Digitail performer and it will run ProtoolsTDM systems, expacialy the new udated DP 4.5. DP is easy to use and work well that is 4.12 and we will see about 4.5. In Protools systems Tdm systems are the real pro system the small and inexpensive Protools systems are not the same as Tdm. Most systems will be ok. MOTU makes a real nice usb interface that is portable, as long as you have power. Best to go to a place where you can play with different software ect.
