goin to purchase a laptop, needing help on what kinda specs
to run cubase, ableton etc.

I'm only going to be using it for music software and need to
know what kinda size hardrive, memory, soundcard etc and at
what price

Good Yay!

yeah, i'd say ram memory is one of the most important
aspects.
try and get over 1 ram if you can.

also, obviously you'll need to splash out on a soundcard (an
external one) m audio make really good industry standard
type ones. (they also look particularly cool)

pickin up my powerbook on sunday! yasssss

avoid AMD cpu's in laptops since they are loudy (or more
exactly, the fans are loud.... )
