why ?
i wanted to try out the OSX, the experience of it, a different feel. Everybody saying it's great and so on, especially for music recording, and the stability. And virus free.
So i decided to spend more bucks than expected, in order to buy a G4 12". That was one year ago. That felt great.

But:
It occasionally crashes when watching a dvd.
The recording of music is good, but at my level I don't see any difference with recording using a Windows OS machine. Nothing special. And quite painful because of the small screen !
The cd/dvdv player just broke, one month ago.
The screen is really small.
It is a mess to work with a windows machine at the office and having to switch your whole computer behaviour in the evening when you're at home using your mac.
No input for a mic.

And i now sincerely regret having bought a widescreen centrino pc... those are actually more what I was after.

sorry, i'm being off-topic and possibly a sitting duck smile.gif

wow.... being a moderator like you supposely to represent something knowledgeable, and yet you use a basic consumer-based apple product to do something semi-pro.... you gotta be kidding me....

i totally agree with you : i did a mistake and i know i did, and I can't imagine how many other people did such a mistake. But i hope i'm being fair here , giving an unbiased review of my experience, hoping it'll "moderate" the overall enthousiasm. Let's make things straight here : the basic G4 does the job when it comes to recording, i didn't complain about that. It's not really semi-pro, but it's nevertheless working fine.

And it is true that I'm a simple user when it comes to computers (i'm a mod of the musicians forum, that's all). Just know enough to outsmart "normal/non-nerd" people around me laugh.gif

Well, actually, let's be fair : basic users with money will love the simplicity of the mac. Professionals in audio/video will love the power and stability of the mac. Wannabe professionals can also show off by using a mac. Business men spending time in coffee shops... well, they'd look better with a Mac smile.gif

But... in-between users, working the whole day on Windows, databases, excel sheets, ftp, data transfers... definitely Mac's not for them. Not for me...

Ok, that's all, I don't really want to interfere here... just giving another point of view. Glad to make you laugh though wink.gif
