Hi Dave,<br><br>Do a search for ADK laptops. They're pro audio laptops
that aren't sold too expensively. Why I like them is because you have
the option of buying the computer without an OS and saving 100 bucks.
You also get all the computer sound attenuation included.<br>
<br>The standard for laptop and audio seems to be Intel's Core 2 Duo.<br><br>I'm
considering buying one of the 14" laptops and triple booting XP, OS x
(hackintosh style) and Ubuntu (or debian, haven't decided).<br>

Greetings,<br>
<br>
I'll be in the market for a better laptop later this year, and I need<br>
some specific features.<br>
<br>
I'd like to purchase a machine strong enough to handle my work with the<br>
AVSynthesis software. My desktop boxes include 2.0 and 2.4 GHz CPUs,<br>
with 3 and 2 GB memory, and they are not powerful enough for some of the<br>
combined OpenGL/Csound realtime processing. I'll need a machine with a<br>
very fast CPU (preferably 64-bit), large HD support, large RAM capacity,<br>
and accelerated 3D-capable graphics. The on-board sound will be replaced<br>
by an external device, preferably *not* a USB audio device. I want very<br>
high-quality audio, and eventually I'll need support for multichannel<br>
output. The display doesn't have to be humongous, just very clear.<br>
<br>
At this time price is no object, because I don't have the money for it<br>
now anyway. :) But I'm interested in the range of makers and prices<br>
that might appear for such a machine. So, what suggestions from the<br>
LAUyers ?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
