OSX on a PC Notebook
Is there any difference in regard to performance and stability between a MacBook and an intel-based PC notebook with OSX installed?

Re: OSX on a PC Notebook
Yes. You have to run a hack on a PC to run OSX. It's for experimenters only... it's definitely not the way to run a studio. It would be unstable and its unlikely you'd get a good reliable system out of it.
It's also illegal to run OSX on a PC, but whether that would hold up in court is a matter of contention.

Re: OSX on a PC Notebook
Really? I could have sworn that once Apple went to Intel Processors, you could install OS X on a PC and Windows on a Mac without any problems...

Re: OSX on a PC Notebook
Swear all you like, the only way to get OSX on a PC is by building a Hackintosh. You can however get Windows XP or Vista on a Mac. Yes, it does seem unfair, but that's Apple for you. Take, take, take.
Apple's EULA definitely states that OSX may only be installed on an Apple branded computer, and their hardware includes something of a hard-wired dongle that distinguishes it from non-Apple hardware.

Re: OSX on a PC Notebook
That must have been what caused my confusion. Does sound like Apple though. MS spreads their customer base as wide as they can, while Apple works off its fiercely loyal customers.
That's really a shame though. I was hoping to put together a little laptop system for mixing and sequencing while riding the bus, but I can't afford a MacBook. Go figure.

Re: OSX on a PC Notebook
a) noise canceling headphones
b) I've been using Windows for years, and am fairly proficient at it, but there are a LOT of macs in the pro audio industry. I'd like to use my PC for gaming at home, and a MacBook (Pro, preferably) strictly as a daw. I think it'd be good to both have a dedicated daw, and gain familiarity with OS X

I'm curious as to why you can't use Windows for audio production. I think it'd be good to both have a dedicated daw, and gain familiarity with OS X A dedicated DAW is a good thing. However, I'm not sure I agree with "gaining familiarity" with OS X thing unless you are going to be in a position where you need OS X skills to make a living. There are a billion things you can learn for fun, but in most cases you are better off focusing on your craft. I mean you could go ahead and learn Linux too. Will that make your recordings sound better? Brandon

I'm not naive enough to think that what OS you use has any more impact on the quality of your recordings than smearing mayonnaise across your chest does. But being proficient (or at least not completely inept) in an OS that is still very present in the industry will, as far as I see it, make me a more valuable prospect for potential employment.
