Apple vs Pc laptop with Windows 7

[Spitfire]

ive used OSX for 4 years now with no problems.. i had no interest in Vista so didnt ever consider it.. win 7 looks to be very good... but in the end.. both will do what you want recording wise..maybe not using the same DAW in the end.. but you will be able to do it using the various tools available to each.  get which you want.. if i had the money id get mac.. if not id get a win 7 system.

My i7 iMac and all the software, Midi Processor, Audio/Midi interface, Kore2 controller worked first time and every since with no conflicts at all. Its a dream set up for me. I tried the midi guitar it of on an XP PC and it was shitee.

when i can buy a top spec mac for the same as i can build a top spec pc ill consider them!

not saying i haven't in the past but its purely been based on lust over those 27" HD displays everytime i walk past one

Yeah you make a valid point. Although unless you're running extremely high intensity programs the top of the line specs are probably more than necessary. If you're doing three dimensional graphic rendering or video editing it might be worth it though. I've found that music recording and editing works just fine on my MacBook Air, which only has an 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. It runs like a computer with a slightly faster processor because of the solid state hard drive, but it still isn't top of the line by any means.
