Hi.. newbie question re laptops

Ok sorry for being a little dim but...

If you had only �500-600 what laptop would you buy to support the use of FL5?

I'm new to music creation & excited by it, but at that stage where I can't actually do much.

Cheers & I appreciate anyone going out of their way to answer this benign question

Best wishes
Mike

FL takes pretty much nothing to run. throw an external sound card and a good set of 'phones and youll be good to go. check out ebay for teh laptop, possibly the card.
