I am really not impressed by the cheasy PC notebooks out there. The hardware can be a joke. I had an iMac 33mhz and was always struggling with how slow it was. So I'm kinda worried about stepping into the sub-gig world of processors. But am hoping OSX makes up for it. I plan on using Ableton modestly, as well as some sort of replacment for Fruity Loops to assemble loops. What can I expect in terms of preformance?
