I'm getting ready to upgrade from a B/W G3 350. I would like to run Reason 2.0 and Cubase SX w/ Rewire (OS X). I'm debating between a dual 1.25 Mac and an 876 mhz or 1 gig Powerbook. Has anyone worked with either of these setups? I'm thinking about going portable because we have a baby on the way and I don't want to be making a lot of noise at home (I have about 3 hours to kill between shows on my gig and it would be great to get some work done.)
Thanks for any input. |

The first thing to think about between desktop and laptop is the the former is usually more expensive and a bit less powerfull. So the choice for a Powerbook needs to be motivated only if you know that you need to be really mobile.
The dual 1,25 will be way more powerfull, expandable. Now for a Reason/SX setup it depend also of what kind of things you do with. Do you want to run loads of plugins?
