So I am in the market to get a new laptop. I will be using it to dj with serato while running the N.I. Maschine software with other vst's and in the future possibly ableton if I get it to use the bridge. Also I would like to install my DAW software on it as well so I have the ability to work on music away from home if need be and port projects between the laptop and my quadcore desktop. I have ruled out Macs just due to the cost. I feel for my budget which is about 1200-1300 I will not get the speed/ram I want from a Mac. So my question is what PC brand to go with. I have a cheap-ish gateway now and loathe it. I got it on sale so I shouldn't complain, but I don't want to go the bargain pc route this time as this will be a big component of what I do live. I was looking between the HP Envy and the Dell XPS lines as well as some different Lenovo's. My main thing I must have is a i5/i7 and 4 to 8 gb of ram.
So any thoughts?
