Actually, I'm using a normal MacBook, which is cheaper than a lot of laptops with the same specs (the Vaio for one), but with a smaller screen (the 5 hour battery life makes up for that if you ask me; amazing portability)
But back on topic: Anyone know where I can learn how to actually use GarageBand? I'd like to just fiddle around with writing music, as in literally writing it with notes (can't think of proper term, dangit...) I was in the band for ~4 years, so I know the basics. I just want to play around with it.
