{censored}, almost everything written so far has been so informative.. 'blue2blue', your post in particular was helpful. And in regards to the tape thing, It's a really cool prospect to have a tape machine at home. But for me personally I'm also looking to have a computer to program beats and perhaps use live at some point... Keep it coming, by all means..

Hi.. I know this is a classic topic, but since the computer-world (no pun intended) is ever changing I would like some input from you peaple regarding my recording-dilemma I'm saving for a laptop computer to use for home recordings and although I've been a guitar player for quite some time I am very new to the whole 'home recording' thing. I was going to buy some kind of Mac laptop to use with a MBox and ProTools (and perhaps some Focusrite pre-amp) like every other home-musician seems to be doing, but then my PC loving friends started telling me about how there has been an unfair smear campain against PC laptops and how they can do everything a Mac can do.. etc. etc. I really want to make an informed decicion. I just want to record music in my room without having to fight with my computer all the time. What are your thoughts dear Harmony-Centralists? What kind of laptop can/should I use to record music in ProTools and record beats? thanks..
