(1) Need a pc 4 uni.

(2) Needs 2 be small 4 my shoebox room at uni.

(3) Toying with idea for gigging.

(4) Oh yeah it would have to be a 486 and running 3.11.... and my trusty cakewalk 5..... does Soundforge run on 3.11?

(5) I saw a couple in Loot 4 about �450 so i'm gonna keep looking around. BTW they were pentiums....

I was considering this myself (sorry to butt in) but do these laptops come with MIDI interfaces? If not, I reckon they cost a bomb to fit! Everything else in Laptop format is a killer (in price)../.hgkn,vm vm nmbvnm z we\i (dribbling)

True, but you can get midi interfaces that go from the printer port bit.

A parallel MIDI interface! How bizarre! Do laptops have a serious crashing problem?

Can you use them with wav files and use it as a sampler (1100DX)?

What about SCSI?

They are going filthy cheap in the Loot at the moment!

The Midilink from Musicworks hooks up to the printer port so you could stick it in a laptop no problem- but it is about 3 times expensive as a regular 15 pin adaptor for a PC. Suppose you only gotta get 1 tho so what the hell.

Can you use soundcards externally? And are the laptop soundcards crap?

yes they are crap... well, like a standard built in audio out on mini-jacks...... you can get older soundforge V3.... it is ok actually.....those IBM thinkpads are quite nifty... the keyboard opens out as you lift the lid.... so you get a big keyboard, and a small laptop..... er..... dunno if they are reliable tho, or have audio outs.... but there ya go... lappy's are a grey area to me....all i know, is the new ones break down alot...

I'd stay away if I were you. You're going to pay 1.5 to 2 times more for a laptop with comparable specs to a given desktop. And they're more or less non-expandable. And if you gig with it, it's really easy for someone to rip it off.
