[QUOTE="Surfnut, post: 1188713, member: 192754"] Hi Thanks a lot for all the information ! I'd thought about the Mac mini - my exgirlfriend's parents had one and I was really impressed with it the 2 or 3 times I got to use it. One of the reasons I want a laptop is so I can just plop it atop the piano and connect a couple of cables when I want to record something. No monitor or keyboard or mouse to deal with...but thanks anyway for the Mac Mini suggestion - it makes a lot of sense. I've no intention of playing any games whatsoever with this computer. I was just worried that the processor and lack of RAM wouldn't be able to handle heavy-duty music sequencing and hi-def video editing - but chscag, if you think a RAM upgrade will be all I need, then this computer will do what I need it to do. cwa107 - I think I've got it. Make sure iLife is installed and iMovie and Garageband should be on it. If not, and he does not have the "iLife Suite C.D." then I'll have to buy one someplace but then I'll be good to go. That's very important information and I appreciate the tip.. Thanks again for the help and guidance everybody. With luck I'll be able to post back here in a few hours telling you all of my first Apple* ! *I had an Apple II+ and and Apple IIe but I don't think anybody wants to talk about them anymore....
