Can some kind individuals please advise me on computers? Mine is looking to go kaputt after many years of service, and so I'm thinking its time to bite the bullet.
The main thing I do with it other than the usual word process / internet / email / download is music production, and ideally I would like something which will deal well with running a number of programmes simultaneously (for those who know ideally i want to rewire reason through cubase and use multiple vst's) without causing it to struggle
So
Key considerations...
Mac vs PC - mac's are preferable, but seem MUCH more expensive, as in twice as much? Is it really worth it?
Laptop vs Desktop - laptops are handy, I've had one previously, but again I'm wondering whether its worth the extra cash involved? Are they as much more dear as they seem?
General pointers to good brands / components / sites would be of great assistance.
The main thing I guess is that I'm totally out of the loop with regard to what a good standard of processor / RAM etc is
Thanks for any help
