sound, wifi, optimized X?

You'd want a mac for needledrops anyway. Get a cheap mini if you don't already have a mac.

Fully functional and ready to run a compiler, maybe.

yup

linux is only cheap if your time has no value.

Just pick up an apogee duet, use that for the ADC, and start doing 24/96 captures

$ apt-get microsoft\ office What? Are you KIDDING ME? Buy a mac, cheapskate $

endless argument about something that will never get resolved, but that keeps coming back.

Naw, it's a thrash now, no point.

Take any review like that with a boulder of salt. EG. imod

But apple supports 2 completely different architectures, with binary compatibility between them, and many generations of said hardware across those platforms. What they don't support is SHITTY hardware configurations.

I paid right at $1000 each for 2 macbooks. Spent another $100 upgrading the memory on my own. No other first tier vendor could beat that price for a comparable laptop. Apple prices their top config high, but drop down a bit, and they're very competitive.

Whenever you find you're agreeing with something I've said, however tangentially, please refrain from posting.

I use itunes. My lossless is in alac, and my only pc is locked to my desk at work... I don't hear a difference between usb and optical for 44/48-16 data on my minidac, so I wouldn't worry about that part, if you're using music that originated on cd. I use optical because I have some 48/24 live recordings.

macs are bit perfect by design.

I'll again recommend airfoil and an airport express.

I can get you an ibm employee discount on lenovo...

Did you buy the T42s all at once?

It's a red curry, tho it was really a thai-ish curry. Wife made it.

The only 2 companies I'd consider for laptops are thinkpad (lenovo) and apple. Even if you run windows on the apple. I say that as someone who's had a ton of laptops, The ones that survive are from apple and ibm/lenovo.

Naw, peter's not an idiot. He just likes something different in music than you do.
