Laptops
Im looking to buy a laptop to produce, gonna be spendin between £400 - £500 quid, any suggestions on what I should look for? Or any links to any suitable laptops would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Working with FL (and I'm sure any other DAW) on a 26" screen is the dream, tried it on a 50", not so much
just memes and donks these days

250gb is pretty big... depends how many samples your gonna be downloading
if you need more you can always get an external hard drive for non-essential samples and stuff.

You can always buy an external USB one.
I bought a netbook for production, its pretty sweet, about £300 too. Not a powerhouse by any means, but it delivers.

I have a lenovo X200 and it rocks ass, size and power-wise... only complaint is that it's too low on graphics to play games...
for music, i think it's perfect as its small enough to fit into my bag but powerful enough to do just anything (apart from crysis )
At home I have a decent audio interface and nice monitors and that's all I need (apart from renoise, my guitar and vst)
Small computers rock (though not netbooks, they suck!)

No way man
My netbook runs Ableton with my midi controllers fine.
I can even play HL2 on it.

I went with the MSI Wind u100, it has a nearly full size keyboard so its easy as hell, pretty much exactly like a normal keyboard.

Has anybody got any experience with using audio interfaces like the above for using guitar in tracks etc?
Will be using with Ableton & possibly Reason.

This is my setup at the moment:
Alesis Multi-Mix 8 Firewire
Novation X-Station 25
I'm running those through a Macbook Pro, using Reason 4, Milky Tracker, & Tracktion 3. It pretty much covers anything I want to do, whether it's with my band or just on my own. I'm still having trouble getting something on my own going though... I haven't really developed a solid method for creation yet.
