[QUOTE="xstep, post: 420573, member: 11647"] Elizabeth, I personally think that for Garage band you will be better off with a a newer Intel based Macbook or iMac. There are technical reasons I believe that you will be able to do more with the MB. The dual processors are both used in GB and the memory bus is faster. GB and music produciton in general is tough an any system, so the faster the better. Also that G4 price isn't that great given it's speed, memory and age. You can save a little via the online Apple store if you buy a refurb too. The 'but' is that you may have to wait for the item you want to become available. You could try phoning Apple sales though. If you need portability then a laptop is great, but if you don't, then consider the extras you get for the same price investment in an iMac. [/QUOTE]
