It sure is. It's also very, very powerful.
I gig with mine, and record multitrack.

With an external firewire drive and 2 gigs of RAM, it can do a LOT of tracks

I think I'm sold, I'll take one. Do they throw in the laptop as well?

note that this is a linux machine. they say that it will work under xp also, but I would be interested if the machine then runs reliably, and if it is capable of processing audio.

It's a nice little thing, though. A friend has one and we built a theremin with pd and an arduino board in a couple of minutes ...

thanks for all your suggestions, but the macbook is more than twice the price and more than twice the weight.

Even though it's much more powerful, it's power that I don't need - I have two much more powerful computers in my studio!
