Re: choosing a laptop

[Adam Gaskins <shipiboconibo@gmail.com>]

I run a a cheap $600 Lenovo (my Vaio died and I didn't have cash for
another sony... but I needed a laptop ASAP, haha). I use a presonus
inspire interface and can run guitar rig 3, some anteres vocal VSTs,
Live, and Reason with some synth and fx all at once with no problems,
using XP SP3. I have no clue what firewire chipset the Lenovo uses
though.
