can anyone help? -i'm going to buy a new laptop for making music on. would i have to buy an external soundcard for the cheapest new mac laptop or is latency not really an issue with the standard mac soundcard? if that's the case, i may be tempted to buy a mac...

exactly.
latency is the musicians worst enemy really.
and u doubt that there is a difference between the latency on a pc board and a mac.

latency stinks
i've been told that 'macs only use quality parts inside' and dont cut down on the quality of the soundcards like with pcs... hmmmmmm.

You don´t need an external soundcard to a portable mac (not if stereo - 2 channels of sound - is enough and you don´t use microphones) The quality of the soundcards are v e r y good and with Mac OS X you can get about 2-3 ms of latency!
