Ableton Forum

I use a Yamaha 01x firewire console and had constant glitches, hiccups and timing issues when connected to a Windows based PC.

I've never once had any issues with firewire connectivity on any of my macs. Rock solid.

Now however, I am going to need a portable solution so that I can play live with Ableton.

The question is why should I go for a macbook which are starting at around 700 on ebay when I can get a comparable laptop for 250?

Is stability that much of an issue?

theire is no way you can get a comparable PC laptop for 250 the macs have high end hardware and to match one like for like your prety much looking at the same money.

i did my research, the mac have a highend processor for any given speed, fast memory and system buss. unless you match the numbers like for like you are not getting the same machine, and your not gong to match like for like for 250.

Fact. You will get way more play with the honeys with a mac. One look at that glowing apple while you're rockin behind it and boy you better start handing out numbers cuz its on. Macs are way more sexy and you smellies know the deal.
