For laptops, I prefer Macs. Laptops are such integrated systems, you want a machine that's got top quality hardware and design. Apple knows their machines inside and out, and knows how to build them solid, efficient, and pretty.
And like Pasty said, Macs are generally easier and more intuitive to configure and get music stuff working than on PCs. However, there are two things you sacrifice with Macs: 1) Cost. They are always more expensive than the same thing in a PC. Although it's hard to find all the features that Macs pack in PC laptops. 2) There's currently more free/cheap audio software available for PCs than for Macs. But man. When I see brand new PC laptops are coming out and they STILL have a parallel port, a serial port, and a PS/2 port, yet no firewire ports, no integrated wireless, no integrated bluetooth... I just gotta wonder what's going on with that. -------------------- iMac G4 1.25ghz 512, iBook G3 600mhz 384, Logic Pro 6, Live 3, Edirol PCR-50.
