Further to the discussion generated from viewer mail about mac vs. PC, I was interested in hearing more of the debate.

I'm in the market for a new laptop and I'm comparing a Mac Book (2.16GH CPU, 2gb RAM) with the Dell XPS 1210.

I've been making music on the PC for a number of years now (Reason, Soundforge, Ableton, Cool Edit Pro) - and the best point I think that was made (episode #31) was about availability of software on PC. Having said this, I am very interested in trying out the stability of a UNIX based platform for audio creation.

Of course I would dual boot with a stripped down version of XP so that I wasn't limiting myself on software options. It goes without saying that Vista is not an option I would consider on either setup.

What do people think?
