what are you saying lolo? that they have touch now? both capacitive and resistive?
btw: so how do you connect that thunderbolt to a HDMI/DVI external screen? the very least thing i needed was a new standard.

no... I was talking about electrical tension.
mini displayport to hdmi or minidisplayport to dvi for 29 bucks and you're set. |
You're right - imacs have autoswitching power supplies in them. You just need the really cheap plug adaptor so the pins fit in whatever socket you're going in to.
@Drogtech - little bit of advice: if you don't know that you can't use VST's on a mac (without a wrapper etc) then I would suggest a little more eduction on software/computer technology before spending $1000+ on a computer.
Look for the stickies at the top of this forum - there's great info in there that will help you make an informed decision.

Ugh... quad core CPUs have been out for ages (albeit not "I" series). I doubt that stability was the primary factor, as Quad Cores are and have been quite stable for some time. Price factor may have played a role, if I had to guess... but then again, Apple charges top buck for their systems, would have been nice to leverage Quad Cores for the money people, including myself, have spent.
And congrats on being a Windows-based Ableton user, you and your friends must feel confident in your systems and probably spent a substantial amount of time ensuring it's stable. Not many people, given the choice, would say "it's all the same". I've seen some myself, however, when asked about stability on Win7 - many have said "yeah, I've had some crashes". Not to say that Macs are error-free. I've seen PvD's rig in Central park, running on Mac, blow up and forcing him to reboot with a live drummer trying to keep crowd moving while PvD was rebooting. Shit happens on any computer, it just tends to happen less with Macs, IMO.
And don't be a hypocrite - you're being a Windows fanboi yourself when you're reaching for personal attacks, instead of providing some stats to back your theory up. Fact: more live performers use Macs vs PCs. Prove me wrong, go ahead. |
You're making the claim so how about you provide the stats. Also quad core hasn't been out for ages, intel just had a couple of quad core CPUs that were very occasionallly used. It really only started getting heavy use in laptops with the i7 series.
I didn't spend a lot of time ensuring stability actually. My setup usually runs flawlessly. Ableton rigs have less problems than CDJs IME. CDJs fail more than ableton on either mac or PC, and crowds are used to that.
I'm not being a windows fanboi at all, you're just making stacks of claims without any numbers to back them up. I don't even care about this debate tbh, you can spend your money on whatever system you like, I know that mine's stable, and I honestly don't care what proportion of other musicians use macs

I'm going to take the leap and say none is better. The entire idea of one OS being better than the other is a thing of the past but a lot of people just haven't caught up with that yet. They're different but all very capable and stable, but none of them are perfect. It's just a decision based on personaly preference and experience, no more no less. |
I'd agree with that I think.
