Is it purely from a 'carry around' point of view, that you guys want laptops.....because otherwise I'd never buy one for use at home |

Several reasons- 1) So I can make music on something other than my knackered old G3 outside when it's too sunny to be indoors. 2) So I can take a PC on holiday with me. I hate being away from music software for more than a couple of days. Especially if I get an idea for a trakc whilst I'm away. 3) Playing live will not be such a hassle to set up. 4) It would become worth buying a Stanton Final Scrath for DJing- currently it'd be too much aggro to take my PC to a gig with me. 5) Much more conveniant for LAN parties. |

i have a HP Celeron 2.2 gHz, 500 mb RAM. It's more than enough for making music i reckon. Traktor 2 is a winner on laptops, but you need a soundcard with lotsa outputs. |

Just bought an IBM T40 for close to 2000$US I'm now totally broke as a result. But insanely happy, making music outdoors with 5 solid hours of battery life with USB keyboard. I'm getting an Echo Indigo DJ card with ASIO and two 1/8 inch stereo outs so I can DJ with it, and just sample on my main rig in my room. If you just want power/specs, get a Dell or something similar... I got the IBM for reliability since I work on computers and need it for that too. Toshibas are very good, so are Acer from what I've heard, I just can't deal with the extra weight. It's HARD buying a laptop, lots to look at, lots of confusing marketing practices. You'll probably end up paying around 3-400$ more on the laptop than you wanted. Check fatwallet.com and anandtech.com in the forums to see when hot deals pop up |
