Re: Looping with a PC laptop... which one?
i think that when it comes to the laptop market, the whole price difference
between an Apple and a similarly configured wintel machine evens up.
that's my
opinion, at least.
but, if i _had_ to buy a wintel laptop, i'd go with a Dell. only with the
extended warranty though.
i recently spilled less than an ounce of coffee on my Pismo 500, which i
rely on
to sequence live. (yeah i know i can still use the arps in the MS2000 and
the
Z1 ... i've had to do that before. thanks to an Apple Genius who
obliterated my
boot sector before a show while he was replacing the DVD unit.)
it's not covered under Applecare. i had to take it in, let them diagnose
it,
offer to fix it for 500 dollars, and now i've bought the 40 dollars worth
of
parts i need on Ebay and i'll just have to cover the bench fee.
if i had a Dell with an extended warranty, i heard that breakage/spillage
was
covered.
but i can't run Numerology on a Dell. so i'm gonna buy a new aluminum
powerbook
next week.
