So the day before yesterday i was looking on the internet for a laptop, and I kinda realized that everything was too expensive for me right now, but if i saved up some money, i would probly have enough around march. Then yesterday morning, one of my co-workers showed me this newspaper-clip with a SICK ASS COOL laptop, for only €1480. And I was all like "whaaat! why haven't I saved up for this right now?"... Then the ill thing happened, as my boss, out of the blue, borrowed me the money! So right now I'm sitting in my bed, a Saturday morning with hangovers, and posting topics on my new laptop. I'm so happy! :D Yesterday I also met a interesting girl, but let's see what happens there... Here's the specs on my laptop for you 1337 geeks: Centrino 1.7ghz 512MB Ram 80Gb HDD Tv-out, Tv-in, tv-tuner, radio, full feature remote-control (for when connected to the tv), lotsa' software (including microsoft flight sim 2004...) and DVD-RW (yes...double-layered DVD-burner) With this laptop I'm finally ready for live-performance! My plan is to play live within 2 weeks from now, and now I finally have it all in a laptop... |

you might wanna upgrade your RAM on there mate, especially since i'm guessing you're running XP on there? nice system though :) laptops are great aren't they??! |

I think you got ripped off man My laptop is a P4M 2G and everything else minus the remote control and it wasn't that expensive... |

think the RAM's ok for me...i'm gonna' reformat it with Win2000 some day anyway ;) I hate XP ...but since it was all preinstalled, then i thought "what the hell" :) |

...oh and I forgot to mention the ATI MOBILITY RADION 9700 with 64MB RAM. ....I can actually run Doom3 pretty well on this :) |

just make sure you make a note of all your devices and stuff (optical drive model number, modem model number, etc etc etc) because you'll most likely have to download drivers for Win2k personally, 512MB on a PC system for making music isn't enough....i could barely get what i wanted to get done on my iBook with 786MB RAM. i'm even thinking of outfitting my PowerBook with the full 2GB when i have the money! |

can you really????!!! that's great!!! my PowerBook has the 128MB ATI Radeon 9700 card in it, it should fly on this :D i was worried that it wouldn't run very well *fingers crossed for the Mac OS X version of DOOM 3 to be done quickly* |

It has never been a RAM-problem for me...more a question of soundcards, but that's no problem here, as I have a M-Audio Ozone (and they have a build in kick-ass soundcard)... I'm basically only using FL4.1 and Ableton Live! anyways :) |

|
ahh that's ok then :D you're all set! for a performance situation i'm hoping to integrate some Ableton Live and Reason, and my Casio's ;) |

well, 'running great' in Doom3 is a question about standards...I haven't seen a computer where the Doom3 system analyser said "your computer should run high settings" .... But almost smooth graphics in 1024x768 with low-graphic-settings is pretty good, when my 2Ghz AMD, 640mb RAM, with a Geforce FX5200 128Mb runs lamer on 800x600 |

my PC system was recommended for High Quality AMD Athlon64 3000+ (clock speed of 2GHz) 1GB 333MHz RAM nVidia GeForce 6800 GT 256MB RAM Graphics Card 1024x768 at full quality is nice ;) |

I'm doing a very basic buildup with the live-set...all my tracks in Ableton, lot's of preprogrammed VST's, and then connected to all the MIDI-controllers on my Ozone...then I should be able to 'just' play my music, twiddle some knobs, and still get the feelings of a performance :) |
