Hey guys and gals, i'm in the market for a new laptop i never owned one myself before but i'm looking to get something pretty solid so i can replace my desktop. I'm going to be using it for Dj software like Abelton, Traktor, Sony Acid Pro and Reason 4 some mild gaming like Team Fortress 2 and Photoshop. Mac is not an option as i don't like them at all, i was looking at mid range Sony Vaios, HP Pavilion or Alienware. Trying to keep the cost around $1000 - $1200.
Any advice would be appreciated |

| would definitely go with a dell laptop. They have lots of options in your price range and you can customize them to your liking. |

Sick deal if you can find one. Guy at work just got one, less than 1500 taxes in. He had to drive to oakville though to find one. They might be all gone. At least the ones with the Nvidia chipset and GPU are history. Only intell chipset boards left. |

Mac, hands down. I'm not a fan of the Mac OS either but I'm telling you Peter when it comes to audio production and performance you should use a Mac and a high quality external sound card. |

I really find it hard to beleive there is anything a PC cant do that a mac can. If not better. What exactly makes it better? Software is software. U buy a PC and you get ty results. The only thing mac has over PC is the hardware was assembled with other hardware that was meant to work flawlessly together. U can buy or build PC's like that too. |

I have heard nothing but horror stories about HP laptops. Again, can't believe I even considered getting one.
