I have always seen, in live music, that musicians like dj's and rockers and
so many others, tend to use macintosh laptops to produce music. But I have
never seen this people using pc laptops.

I think that the reason is the macintosh software because there are some
programas only available for mac and not for pc, but I hesitate this. Is it
the reason for the preference of musicians for macintosh laptops the
software or the stability or the operating system ? Perhaps a laptop pc with
windows could "hung", but could a laptop pc with linux and audio software be
as good as a macintosh ?

Thanks !
