I have been doing more research on the laptop I want to buy for my home studio. I originally was looking at a PC because I am accustomed to them. I was probably going to buy a decked out Asus or Toshiba. After looking more thoroughly, custom computers like Rain, ADK, and PCaudiolabs seem to be the way to go and a Macbook Pro is even better.
The issues I found that come up quite often are related to latency issues and driver issues between software and hardware items in your DAW system, which straight out of the box MACs seem to have less of.
WHY do MACs have better performance??
What causes more prevalent errors or unwanted performance issues in PCs??
Is it the MAC (OS) vs PC windows operating software that is the root of the problem??
I believe Rain, ADK, and PCaudiolabs run on windows platforms, so are they subject to the same issues that PC's have or a they set-up to run more error free like MAC's??
If you use a laptop to record, does it have to be totally for recording? For example, would it be a disaster to use it for photos, to load your CD collection on and use it as a stereo, use as a word processor, and other simple stuff etc??
