i am looking to buy a new laptop in a few weeks time, mainly for university and making music but first i have a few questions.... 1) will i be able to stick a soundcard in it or will i need to get an external one? if so can anyone reccomend a cheapish good souncard (i hear the audiophile is good) 2) reccomend a brand? i was gonna go for a sony vaio, but there expensive for the spec 3) would i be worth changing to a mac? probly not, but i am studying architecture and im gonna be making music thanks |

1. You will almost certainily need to buy an external soundcard in it if you want decent sound quality/to use it for mp3Jing etc. cheapish/decenbt one would be the SB extigy. 2. Dunno a lot about brands, but vaio is generally seen as most stable/expensive. Siemens/fujitsu have good battery life and seem a good price/quality compramise. 3. If you're doing architecture, go for a pc. Also easy access to piratable music software. |

My ibook is toasty warm when I sleep with it. After I have been using it for a couple of hours it's like a hot water bottle. |

With a PowerBook an external audio interface isn?t the that necessary - 2 ms latency with OS X & low noise - lefts you to focus on makin good music intead of checking specs. Ceri: Most computers gets warm during use? |
