Question laptops!

i'm in the market for my first lappy. gonna be my production/liveshow station basically.

so, i want to buy the best i can for the least amount of money.

i'm guessing 2.0 GHz dualcore + 2GB RAM would do me good. i'll sort myself out with an external soundcard and other goodies later on.

i think this is a sketch of what i need:

2.0 GHz dual
2GB RAM
~180GB HD
bunch of USB ports
firewire

comments in general? any suggestions of brands? what about sites to get a good price?

Those specs u listed should do you just fine for laptop production. I have a 2.14mhz core2 with 1GB ram and the processor can handle most things i throw at it. Wouldn't mind another gig of ram though - so if u get one with 2GB it should do a good job for ya.

I just got a Mac Pro and switched to Logic and I am very happy. In fact, I'm so happy with Mac OS X that I'm planning on getting a MacBook Pro for a general use/mobile DJing computer. You can color me converted.

Make sure that HDD is 7200RPM.

I run a 2.14 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 6 USB, 1 Firewire, 7200RPM HDD and it works brilliantly. Also runs fantastic when I boot up a different hardware profile and disable everything that isn't necessary for production.

17" Widescreen with 1920x1200 res works great too

I wouldn't get a mac unless you really want to. My friend and I both got laptops at the same time last year. He got a mac I got a Dell and he has had to have his serviced at least 5 times. Don't believe the hype, but definitely get one if that is what you really want.

i had to use a Mac during my term at the Red Bull Music Academy, and i hated it. by the end of week 1, i had gotten used to it, and hell, Ableton is Ableton, but it also locked up on me unnecessarily a few times.

not to mention some of the best guys in my term were Windows users, proving that you can be good without a fruity computer

the whole thing is, when Windows bitches, i know what to do. i'm used to it. when Mac bitches, it's a motherfucking mystery. and i even saw some experienced Mac users experiencing difficulties.
