any suggestions on a good mean machine laptop.
I have been pondering an HP.
suggestions or things to look out for?
peaX!
I own HP Pavilion zx5078cl. I compared it to my PC running @ 3.2 GHz (HT) and it consumes about 10% CPU resources more than PC (I switched both to Direct X driver while testing).
Be sure to check is the laptop noisy (mine is a little bit) and how it heats-up during the stress-tests procedures and games.
so you would not reccomend an HP?
what other brands give the option of a 7200 speed HD?
Are there not lots of laptops you can get that have been built for the needs of a music person? You can check out those prepackaged music laptop deals. And if they charge too much, you can get the basic equipment list and build it yourself… I mean, get the basic computer and install a quiet fan and or faster bus or whatever they do to music-ize a laptop.

what about USB audio, i am still baffled that my p4 2.8 gig with 1 gig of ram using an emagic 2|6 cant play 2 vsts in addition to a few drum tracks.
could this be due to the p4 denormalization bug?
hello.
I have some qestions that hopefully someone can help me answer.
I am currently using a dell inspiron 5100 with:
XP home
p4 2.8 gig
1 gig of ram.
I am running Renoise as my main audio sequencer.
I am also using a USB audio interface emagic 2|6
I am having trouble with audio and the sound glitching and popping as if it cant handle what is going on in the audio program when i am using 2 vsti’s and some drum sequences for example.
So I am looking for an answer on how to fix this issue…OR a laptop that i could get that would run renoise the best??
Thanks!
try getting a thinkpad …
i have one, and it’s built like a tank.
im me d00d.
Yes, Thinkpads are the bomb, I would go for one of those. There are a lot of people with notebooks on my uni, but the people with Powerbooks and Thinkpads rule the street!
