RE: choosing a laptop

[J Johans <parispro00@hotmail.com>]

heres an update-
 
i bought a macbook pro 2.3 dual core w 2GB ram running bootcamp XP SP3 and Mobius at 256 samples with almost no clicks-
 
all in all...... i would suggest to anyone looking to go into laptop looping to purchase a MAC....
after 4 dell computers.....simply buying a MAC solves the following issues-

1) no ground noise when plugged into AC
2) low fan noise0
3) TI firewire chipset (the most important thing ever =D )
4) run XP or OSX
 
just wanted to pass on what i learned
