don't buy a laptop if you just want to make music on it. i mean it looks pretty cool and all, but it's so a load of hassle and so much more expensive. i only do it cause i needed a laptop for other purposes.

true, true.

solution for #2 - normal IDE hard drive in external firewire enclosure

#3 - (apparently) external soundcard, either USB, firewire or cardbus.

It will be a special built laptop with the specifications:
P4 2 Ghz 512kb cache, 512mb DDR, 32mb DDR video, 40 gig harddisk, 15 inch screen, DVD/cd-rw combo, Firewire.


damn, that's gonna be an insane laptop, LOL. i heard that BT's laptop has got 1 gig of RAM tho, now THAT'S insane.

I will buy a external soundcard too, but I doesn't decide wich yet.


get Emagic's emi 2|6 if you can, otherwise Midiman's Audiosport Quattro Pro is just as good. Michael Russo suggested RME soundcards (see above), so if you're wealthy, try RME's Hammerfall Multiface.

and would you consider a midi controller? i think it's far more natural and accurate to control softsynths and sequencers with knobs and sliders instead of keyboard and a touch pad. this looks pretty impressive to me.
