Hey all,
I am soon going to be purchasing a laptop. I have a budget between $1500-2000 and I'm looking for a laptop which will be highly effective in recording and editing music. I have a USB audio interface, which I record with.
I have found a few laptops which are "multimedia" centered, or "entertainment" centered, but are there any specific music laptops? IM NOT LOOKING FOR A MAC (should have mentioned that earlier) If there arn't specific laptops geared towards the recording and production of music then what specs should I be looking for that might improve my ability to edit/record. Any specific chips which might handle the load better? Any particular sound cards? Any laptops with 1/4 inch jacks built right in?
so far all i've been able to find in my price range is:
-Sony VAIO® AR230G Notebookspacer VGN-AR230G
-Sony VAIO® FE Series Notebook PCspacerVGN-FE790PL
I have searched basically every main laptop manufacturer (sony, toshiba, acer, asus, IBM ect.)
Thankyou...hopefully somone here has some advice for me,

I've always been under the impression that Apple is the way to go for recording / editing music, especially for ease of use.
The new MacBooks all come with Garageband I believe, great little program, would love to get my hands on it.
I don't have any experience with apple but sounds like a good choice if you have the $$$. A lot less hassle with spy ware and stuff like that 8) I know that Ricochet likes them a lot :D -ken
I agree, the Macs are great. I work with a lot of computers and Apple was always a good computer brand, mainly since they are Unix-based. But I think Max doesn't search a Mac.
Sony are great computers too, I'd consider Toshiba (a colleague bought one last year and is a good computer) and even Acer, probably cheaper than the previous ones. For desktops we are also buying Mac and HP.
