a good laptop PC for Revolution & MIDI?

[Barry Levine]

The iBook has a hinge problem that is quickly becoming an epidemic on 
machines approaching (or past) their warranty expiration. If you go for 
an iBook, -please- also get the AppleCare extended warranty as this 
hinge repair $$ is more than the cost of AppleCare.

The ribbon cable that passes through the hinge to the screen get 
damaged after a number of months of use. Opening and closing the lid is 
the action that hurts this cable so the more you travel with your iBook 
(and the more you open and close it), the sooner the problem develops.
