Thank you for that very insightful comment. That really wants me to go out and buy a Mac. That way I could be as smart and cool as you.

negative. the core audio is much stronger in quality and is much more dependable than any native drivers on a PC and ASIO (imho).

cheers
That's one of the most stupid mac arguments i've ever heard. but as long as ure happy..
This simply isn't true. The audio quality is first and foremost the result of what kind of audiohardware u might have.

But, macs are prettier to look at, and safer for users with less computerskillz ;)

I had a toshiba laptop coreduo 1,7ghz 2gb ram with live 5.2 and it was ok.
a bit long to load, but ok.
no real crashes...
not always stable...


I have now macbook core2duo 2ghz, 2gb ram with live 6 and it is little more ok:
quick to load (live and liveset)
no crashes (when hardwaare and external gear good configured)

what's better for me with the macbook ?

+1 the size : it is really tiny and fits on a table juste next to my flycase
+1 the stability
+1 the OS (simple simple)
+1 the FUN-*FACTOR (it works quick, great, and now.)
-1 UGLY i got the white one and it's so... white and I can see my fingerprints!!(put your beercan a little more away... ;)

[b]
for a live gig I think a little macbook is really okay with live.[/b]
but I won't say mac is better than pc, because mac is now kinda particular pc, isn't it? (macintel) so apple is a kind of other pc brand...

cheers and goog gig's to all !

I can't think of something real to say against Macs but I just can't keep away from Windows!
Mac's are more expensive but I guess it's just the graphics and gaming that keep me away. If I had money I'd have best of both but for now I have 3 laptop's (PCs).

I just like the fact everything is very customizeable, and that I already know everything there is to it, cause if I got Mac I'd have to learn alot.

And way more plugs for Windows VS osx.
