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!
