As the title says really, looking to save a few pennies between now and xmas and looking for a sub-£500 laptop for making some banging choonz on!
Basically I just want something I can hook up my THR10 to and just do some very basic recording on and just deep edit on the fly and get in to the basics of recording really!
I would like a mac but getting one under £500 is nearly impossible unless it's a fossil so I'm guessing windows based offerings would be more common.
Not looking for any mad graphix or anything like that, I have a pretty solid desktop PC, just want something I can arse about on away from my desk.
Cheers!

Going on 3 years and its still going strong, never had any problems. I wouldn't use it for mixing as the processor and ram spec isn't great, but purely for tracking its a winner.

I've just gotten my old laptop a new battery and PSU, deleted a lot of old stuff, ran ccleaner, disk defragment and I've got an as good as new i5 powered laptop with 4gb ram and a graphics card. Previously I was thinking of buying a new one!
Sadly, it's still running Windows 7 which seems to be a bit slow, despite turning aero off. But turn off the antivirus and it's capable of recording for sure.
Yeah I got similar with a Lenovo Thinkpad, 12.1 screen, i5, 4gb ram, 250gb hdd, gen W7, £90
