I wish to get rid of my computer and move to a laptop in the next couple of months as well! I can only imagine the amount of mixing work I will get done when im bored on the subway or at a coffee shop or something! Great post I totally agree!

Simplify Simplify Simplify! Easier said than done. I'm thinking about ways to do it myself. Any recommendations on headphones? I was thinking about mixing more on headphones rather than my monitors- more to keep the neighbors happy than anything else. Ah yes. Simplify Simplify Simplify!

I go with the lighter model and if I need more screen estate it is easy to hook in an extra 23" monitor or something similar. I might add more RAM later. It will be the 2.26GHz Intel chip, don't know if going to 2.53GHz makes a bigger difference. Not sure if I could run many instances of let's say Sculpture and Space Designer. But, I'm prepared to bounce tracks to disk and freeze, that's what I do anyway. Anyway, others prefer 15", others 17". The best is to go to an Apple store or reseller and check out the screen sizes and other parameters before making a decision. Should order the package next week. Too much fun just now with Logic 9 and a new kitten who arrived tonight. Latest MacBook Pro 13″, 250Gb hard disk, 4Gb memory.

Are you getting the top of the line 17inch? Or is there a better bang for the buck (power and feature wise) in one of the 15s? I don't really need to replace my desktop (MacPro Early 2008), but would like to run Logic 9 with all the Spectrasonics and Native Instruments stuff without bogging things down. I'm just not sure whether the RAM or drive speed will make the bigger difference. Any info appreciated. I'm with you on the simplification thing. Cosey studio you have there. I see where (and why) your music sounds great. : > Hey Kent,
