Re: PC or Mac? whats better for music?
29/03/10 03:03 PM

The only rule of thumb I would advise is don't buy a PC laptop (thankfully not learned myself, but learned from reading lots of posts on these forums).

For what it's worth I work in both environments and have never had a problem. I only bought a MacBook for live reocrding because I couldn't build my own laptop. I have built my own PC running Windows 7 and have no problems with that either.

I guess I would say if you can build it all yourself, go for it, if not, I would get a Mac. I am neither for or against either one. Just know what you need and make it happen one way or the other.
