Anyone using a Macbook Pro successfully?

[shanestt]

I have a quad Mac pro 3.0 and a Macbook pro 2.16. I was thinking of getting rid of my tower because I just don't need two computers. I was wondering if anyone is using a macbook pro successfully as their main computer. I was going to get the E-SATA expander and use two E-SATA drives. I am running 7.1 and will be using BFD as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

Of course. Did professional mixes and productions already outhere all made on a MacBook under Pro Tools.

Working great on a 17 incher! I'd recommend getting a keyboard if you don't already have an extra one.

I'm curious about those e-Sata drives? How do they plug-in? Are they much better than firewire?

Things are very solid on my 17 incher as well...

Peace,

Found this online - looks interesting but much research has to be done.

You can also get one with two Firewire ports.

Same here Im using a 17" 2.33 Duo 2 with M-Box 2, Pro Tools LE 7.3.1 cs2 and OSX 10.4.9, and everything is groovey baby......with the exception of Quick Time 7.1.6 which I know boat loads of people have had problems ever since updating to QT 7.1.6, but thats not just Pro Tools users, it seems to be across the Mac-World by the looks of things, apple may have abit of botty licking to do

How does it do in comparison to a macpro tower? Or a g5? Is anyone using BFD with it? Thanks for all of your responses. I think that I'm going to get rid of my macpro. But please kee the opinions coming.
