Re: Laptops again

Hi Erdem!

buy the most that you can inside your budget, always the top of the line if you can, IMHO

partition your drive so that you can boot from either system.  Yes you can copy files from drive to drive, but program translation someone else will have to answer.

about the macbook pros:
 
there are so many different versions of it on the market. which specific models would recommend for around 2000$ with 2.4 Ghz intel core2, 160 gb harddisk and 2 gb ram?

thanks and best.

Apple Macbook Pro is all you need...it's the best for what you want to do. It's expensive but worth it. I LOVE MINE and will never own anything else baring a severe issue with quality in the future.

I'm sorry to feel the need to ask the laptop question here again, but here I am, staring that option in the face and getting a bit perplexed honestly.  So once again, a question to this fantastically knowledgeable group.

I'm considering going the laptop route primarily for video control and projection work, but I also think that I would like to try the musical laptop thing out as well so I'm trying to figure out what I actually need and can afford to do this.  I have limited resources and can't really stretch much farther than they are so its not good to know that for another $$$$ I could have Y that is much better than the lesser priced X.

So, fastest processor and max RAM are a given, but what do I need to look at beyond that?

I have a friend running a Macbook loaded with Live, Reactor, Augustus Loop, etc that looks to be well suited to the task and seems to work a charm so I have thought about a Macbook
