so im at my friends house the other day and the music gods decend upon me while im there, i get an idea for a song.. PROBLEM!!!! im a half hour away from my house and i have a terrible memory!! whats a guy to do?!
SOLUTION! buy a laptop and take it everywhere i go! haha thats right! a mobel producer!
im not sure if anyone else does this but frankly i dont care. its a good idea for me and im gonna do it. my question is what kind of laptop would best suit my needs? ...and for under 2 grand *american*.
obviously i need lots of ram so a basis to start with would be 512mb's and ugrade the other slot to another 512. instant gig of ram. woohoo. another thing, it needs to be a windows machine.. not because i think windows is so much better but because i already have a windows workhorse and to make networking easier i would prefer billy gates. the size of the harddrive really doenst matter to much because ill be transfering everything over to my workstation... so 30 gig or higher would be fine.
i guess my biggest concern is the processor. im an absolute novice when it comes to mobil processor technology. im a desktop kinda guy and this is my first venture into such areas. ive heard wonderful things about the intel M processor ... outperforms the pentium 4-m apperntly. but like a lot of people im pretty skeptical of intel.
right now im seriously considering the ibm thinkpad x31. seems like a great machine and just under 2 grand with the upgraded ram.
any thoughts?
