Re: New Protools user need reccomendation on plug in and go computer
Any Mac with a FireWire port is good for ProTools.
you need a second HD for recording. Recording to the System drive will do no good. External FireWire HDs need an Oxford bridge chip 911, 912, 924, 936 etc.

Definitely go MAC---just a better computer and operating system for this sort of thing, as you've already heard I'm sure. As stated, any Mac will work w/firewire.....well as long as it's a new or somewhat current MacBookPro and you'll be fine. But DEFINITELY need the external hard-drive.

Re: New Protools user need reccomendation on plug in and go computer
If you don't NEED to be portable, the iMacs can now be had with dual drives(so you wouldn't need the firewire drive). For laptops, I agree on a Mac Pro with a firewire port. Your best "bang for the buck" drives are the OWC Mercury(they even have a nice bus-powered 7200 rpm drive that fits in your pocket).
