USB midi interface compatibility question...

I want to use Logic Platinum just for midi and I would like to know if I can use any ibook or Powerbook with a USB midi interface (I heard the USB interfaces were sketchy) . Should I just purchase a cheap desktop and use a standard serial midi interface? Thanks guys.

USB MIDI has been dodgy at times although I have had success with Motu devices(Fastlane). My advice is to stay away from MIDIMAN products if you use Mac OS

im using the amt8 with logic platinum...works pretty good usb wise if your looking for an interface that big
