Re: [microsound] Laptop recommendation

[Super Coffee Beans <moog@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i second mark vaio is for showoff, but preaty shite machine, very hard to
work with. i would recomend for a live set and stuff a MAC machine since pc
have tendencies to crush (i am not sure u want a blue screen of death on
stage). cubase and most stuff from steinberg makes lots of crushes on win98
and 2000.
if u want to stick to a pc - my solid chocice is the IBM (not IDM) thinkpad.
solid machine.
