YEK Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 ok, here's the dealio ,i want a laptop. initially i wanted to spend around 500 dollars (can)... now i'm looking for something 750-800 the first thing i think of is that windows 7 is coming out in the Fall. should i wait until then to purchase a laptop... will laptop prices drop when the new windows comes out? what companies should i look at? i'm thing a core duo cause i heard those were good processors, 3 gigs of ram, 15 inch screen suits me fine. something with battery life would be nice... i'm not looking for a hardcore multimedia machine. i have no intention to play games, just to run ableton live with lots of vsts open and also the portability of a laptop help Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46433-my-laptop-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retape Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 my best laptop experiences are from using HP ones. they're a bit more expensive, I guess.

Guest mrx Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 GI raffe made a laptop advice a couple and there's some useful information there. In my experience, all laptops start to suck within 1-2 years if you use them regularly. Somehow one of my friends managed to get his dell running without any issues for 5-6 years without any issues, but he's lucky.

zazen Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) i had a Toshiba Satellite which ran well for 5 years, except for the DVD drive which stopped working after 18 months but then started working again after 3 years as long as the laptop was standing on its side. It would have kept working for longer, but then it got nicked i used it loads, but didn't move it around often.

Guest Jimbob Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 There are some good deals knocking around, if you're in the UK this is definitely one of the best. I can't imagine you wouldn't be able to find one of these in the States http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/304415 4 gig of memory, 160 gig hard drive. I'm going to get one of these after the summer to run Ableton 8 on.

YEK Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 i've obviously considered a delll.. i read a good amount from the link posted in the other thread.. a laptop review site. that made we want to purchase and acer. toshiba looks good too. i think i'll probably get an acer but it's between those 3 at the moment Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46433-my-laptop-thread/#findComment-1070530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
