i'm with notes. (i agree also, old win thinkpads are good.)

i worked in tech for more than a few years. thus i'm familiar with lots of tech marketing strategies.
and, like notes, am not loyal to any particular platform.

if one peruses the recording forum gearslutz.com, where a lot of high end down to low end studio owners hang out, one will see that people move from win to mac, and also from mac to win.

the pros/cons of each platform are well documented on GS.
many studio owners even own both platforms.
also on there are lots of people that build their own systems or use a recording pc/system they have bought from a builder of custom win studio pc's that work day in/out without problem.
(yes youll pay more for a custom pc, but they work well. people are getting big trak/plug in counts with them. see GS threads.)

i feel what is most important is carefull computer selection. for example i carefully select low cost refurb win pc's for my studio set up that stay off the net.
for me , refurbs have worked a treat. i have not had one win problem. day in/out no problem.
i just installed the new audient evo interface on a win refurb . no problem.

frankly , in an age of rapid tech obsolescence; i'm not willing to spend lots of money on computers.
i dont need it, but just the other day i saw a win refurb i5 pc for a paltry 120 buks us dollars.
there are loads of refurb deals around for both win and mac.

for awhile now, ive been looking at older refurb macs with those nice xeon processors in.
not cos i dislike win, but purely i'm curious what logic daw can do for me on a 500 buk refurb mac.
as i said, in an age of rapid tech obsolescence; i'm not willing to spend lots of money on computers.
and i feel , what would really help particularly us poorer musicians , would be a reduction in some of the crazy high processor prices. thus i will wait till i9 win pc refurbs become plentifull.
if one wants a high end processor/system its getting like joining an elite country golf club.
only a few can afford it. sigh.

hnyear.
