Don't you mean Celeron processors, and not Centrinos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Sayers Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 well said Ed - I'm sure that's what the confusion is. the centrino and the pentium M are the same thing ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Karma1 Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 After many years of recording on Adats and hardware, I'm finally making the switch to computer recording. I got a G4 Powerbook (1.5Ghz) with an Mbox and ProTools LE. I'm not a "computer person", so I find the learning curve a bit daunting, but the capability you gain, especially in terms of editing, is amazing. I have an engineer who comes to my studio and has been helping along with it and I'm slowly becoming more adept at it. The only limitation so far has been just having two inputs on the Mbox. But I can always upgrade in the future. I like the portability of the laptop plus the fact that it is so much quieter than a desktop computer.

Members nursers Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 I;m very much in the 'laptop as sketch pad' camp - I did have everything installed on it at one stage for the full deal but found I just preferred working at my desktop unit.

Members joel Oporto Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Centrinos are basically budget processors, avoid them like the plague (however being underpowered they're good for batt life and heat). you probably got it mixed up with celeron processors man. In fact for reasons I don't entirely understand, a 1.7ghz centrino will kick an older P4 2.8 ghz in the ass. They are one of the most efficient intel proccessors.
