Nah, it means I
may be purchasing Logic! There are superbly running cracks of Live (and Logic) for Mac to be found on the web.
Reasons to buy the Macbook Pro:
1. My bandmate uses Mac and he just bought Logic to complement Live.
2. Thousands of musicians worldwide use the Apple laptops on-stage and I don't want to be a guinea pig for the phletora of Windows laptops out there. Additionally the aluminium body works as a big heatsink which in combination with the Zalman looks like the best cooling option while running it hot on effects.
3. I'm simply curious about OS X' performance compared to Windows. The GUI may also be nice, but that matters little with Live and NI plugins, cause they look and work the same on Windows anyway.
OS X is a widespread standard OS in audio-visual media production. Now I have access to both worlds: OS X
and Windows (Bootcamp, VMware, Wine).
4. What I hate most about Trackpads is their small size, Apple's are the biggest. Size does matter!
5. MBP's are among the lightest weighting and longest battery-lasting 15" notebooks out there, plus the keyboard is backlit.
The Mac is not a replacement, but will be a complement to Windows.
Can anyone advice for a good book (like some OS X Reference) that explains the guts of OS X and the underlying Next/BSD. I'm mostly interested in the complex stuff like configuration concepts, shell and maybe some apple-script, not how to use the mouse to open Finder.
