I disagree. The new Macbooks don't have Firewire so they're completely useless for production. USB sound cards suck.

If that was a picture of the new Macbook Pro I'd agree. God, those are sleek. I want one so bad.

I disagree. The Apogee Mini-DAC has USB... but it can only do 48khz under this vs. 192khz over firewire. But even with the Mini-DAC at 41.1khz, it still doesn't suck.

OK I'll clarify

There are VERY few good USB soundcards. USB just isn't the greatest for high speed audio applications, especially if you multitrack.

Apogee is very expensive. You can get a good FW sound card for 250$, whereas a good USB sound card will run you 500-600$+, and be worse than a FW card for that price.

You're better off spending the extra dough for the MBP, the regular macbook doesn't really have the performance you'd want for production anyways (IMO).
