MacBook Pro?

Post by mchimes »

Hey folks,

My DP DAW has been based around a G4 Dual 1 Gig for the last 7 years. I am considering going portable, upgrading to a MacBook Pro (last years model is on blowout at Macmall- 2.2 Ghz 2 Core Duo) and DP 6. Do you know what kind of performance I can expect from this new platform in comparison to the G4 w/ DP 4 (i.e. track counts, plugin inserts, # of busses, etc.)? I guess there will also be the $200 upgrade cost to DP 6 . . . am I missing any other hidden costs?

Thanks,
Mike
