Asking for help on what type of labtop.

[Wright1294]

I just bought my Mbox about 3 months ago. I've only been getting into digital recording lately so my knowledge is really limited. I'm wanting to get a labtop to go along with my Mbox to have a very flexable moveable "recording studio". So I thought I would ask advice on what kind of labtop to get. Money is very much an issue lol. Heres one I've been looking at and thought I would get some input on it. Like I said I know basicly nothing what I'm looking for. Can you help a blind man out?

Here is what I've looked at, its right up my price ally at 900 bucks. So I was hoping it might be able to get the job done. Bare in mind that right now my project are pretty much on the simple side.
Averatec Notebook AMD Athlon mobile XP-M 2200+Low Voltage AMD Mobile Athlon® XP 2200+ CPU with PowerNow!™ and 3DNow!® Technology and QuantiSpeed® Architecture
266 MHz Processor System Bus

DDR333 (PC2700) System RAM
Expandable to 512 MB of DDR RAM
One 200-pin SO-DIMM Socket
4 Mbit System BIOS
640 KB of Processor Cache

This is also my first post ever, but hopefully not my last I know I'll be visiting here alot. Theres so much to learn.

Thanks for listening.

Nolan,

First of all to help i would recommend calling them laptops not labtops.

Secondly, there is a sticky thread at the top called "Best Laptops for PTLE"

http://duc.digidesign.com/showflat.p...fpart=1#470179

that would be the place where i would start.

Good luck, and if you need further help feel free to ask. Sometimes you do not realize how much info is already available.
