You really should buy an IBM before they move their production off to China. Nobody builds a PC with the kind of sound quality that is covetted by orchestras throughout North America like IBM does. Sure, their quality control is sometimes a little flaky and sometimes the keys aren't in the right positions but that only means that you should be trying each one out in the store before taking it home. Once home you must practice and learn to accept their variability as part of the "character" of the instrument.... errr, I mean 'computer'. That's what makes them great. And of course, if you really find their keyboards and mice annoying you can add custom-built peripherals at some minor extra cost!
Computer experts for years have extolled the virtues of IBM...with their long history they have just GOT to be better than anything else out there. I remember using one of their mainframe 360 Model 75s. That sucker took up a whole building but man.... could it ever chew up punchcards! If you showed up at a recording session with some other strange brand, I'll bet all the other IBM owners would snear at you. Besides, IBM is recommended by computer directors all over the world.
