    Please, need some help from ppl with knowledge on laptops and recording.

    Ive been highly considering a Mac for home recording.
    but there is new updates for the Mac due out in october problem is im getting impatient waiting and have been looking around at a PC laptop... the debate will rage on PC vrs Mac.

    No if i was to get a PC im thinkin a toshiba a300d 4gb ram 250hardrive 2.1ghz
    or possibly a HP as are a strong reliable laptop..

    OR should i just keep my money and wait for the new macbooks in october?

    thanks
