Hi,
Then the question concerning the noise is still there...
Maybe an independent organization should compare laptops and Macbooks
for music production...
BTW. Are IBM computers also popular for Desktops in the Linux world?

I asked also an Thinkpad user, he said that it
wasn't silent and you
better use an Desktop PC. He didn't compare it with an Macbook pro.
There are thinkpads and there are thinkpads.
So the question remains if this also is true for the Macbook pro.
You have really bad service (unlike 3 years of 24h service with
thinkpads), you have bad linux support (unlike with thinkpads), you get
butt ugly devices (unlike with thinkpads), you have really bad keyboards
(unlike with thinkpads).
With thinkpads you got for years now devices that run 4-8h, you have 3g
for years now, you can get really good touch screens (great for adding
notes to scores), and they can fall on a tiled floor without disintegrating.
There really is no question. Besides Apple being evil, their hardware
really cannot keep up and is very poorly engineered.
(I have several MacPro, MacBook Pro and MacBooks in the studio. There
really is no choice if you HAVE to use Final Cut Pro.)
