Dedicated computers question!!

[Heilos]

Hi everyone, im new to this forum and i know this wont be my last post. Im an Audio Production student right now and im looking to buy a computer for all my studies and to carry around with me to home recordings that i do. It has to have enough prossesing power and memory to run protools 8, fruity loops pro, some of my music, etc. (Wont be a gaming computer). I want it to be dedicated to Audio production.

Im thinking that a mac book would make the best dedicated machine but im just not entirely sure about it. What your opinion, comments?

That would work.
I would pick a pc but that is my preference.
Already running 4 of them.
Dont want to learn a new one.

well i was kinda looking for advise on which model of computer would be best, or at least best for my money, haha. someone had mentioned to me that one of the cheapest mac books with some simple upgrades would work nicely but id like multiple opinions

If you want to run processor intensive plugins, I'd go MacBookPro if I had to choose a laptop.

If you're running Macs at school it makes sense to stick with them. Get the most powerful processor and fastest hard drive you can afford.

Does it have to be a laptop? Does it have to be a Mac?
