YEK Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 what would the specs of a great laptop look like? maybe like a 3 ghz processor and 1 gig of ram with firewire for an external soundcard what is a generous cpu for a desktop computer that let's you run pretty much any vst you want? what would your dream laptop look like or maybe post some links... right now i'm guessing a laptop with the specs up there^ would be quite expensive will computer prices drop once vista is released? i'm guessing you will need a hefty (powerful) computer to run it it's either i buy a laptop in the future or an expensive hardware synth, i think a laptop would be a better idea, better value for the money what kinda laptops do you guys use..... what should i look for down the road when i purchase this "ultimate music laptop"? hmm.. ponder ponder 2 3 4 and sometimes 3 times a week ..

Guest Iain C Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm waiting for one with a gig of ram, 2ghz processor, and one of those mobile ATI graphics cards for gaming... not top of the range by a long shot but it's gonna be fine for casual gaming, music, and uni work (which is supposedly what it's for :laughing: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goffer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 i have a dell i9300 with 1.8 pentium m with a gig of ram and a 6800 'cause i'm a gamer. Dell gives the best bang for the buck if you shop around the right time which is the start of summer and the start of xmas. I'd frequent www.notebookforums.com and look for coupons. i got mine a year ago for $1300 (found a 40% off coupon that saved me about a grand) It's a great notebook and i ahvent had any problems except my DVD died on me but they sent me a new one free of charge anyhow.
