Best Laptops for Pro Tools LE

[Datus]

sweet i am very eager to hear the results on that

alienware: I think were going to find out that most laptops will be able to run pt with usb/firewire. There was some discussion about this before---Since it's firewire/usb it's no SO dependant on chipset---not as much as the pci stuff.

I checked out that alienware system. it's green! lol. Looks cool. it has a 7200 rpm hard drive and I like that. I've been toying with buying mine without a hard drive and putting a 7200 in myself. I'm afraid about battery life though because I will use mine for more than just recording. It just looks a bit pricey.

i think everyone would agree that since we have very few test results in on notebooks, it's good to make sure you can return it if it sucks. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hey Wiz,
My little 14" Fujitsu works just fine when I use it, and what I use it for. If I do need more room, I can always take along my desktop lcd.

I have a friend that not too long ago dropped over $10K on a new laptop and desktop from them. Nice comps, though. P4 3.06ghz, both with massive HD space. Maxxed out ram on both units.
