Who wants a laptop with an intel graphics chip anyways?


I guess he didn't say he plays any games, but still.

asus is pretty sweet so far as pc's go.

let me go copy and paste some scripting languages so my opinion is more valid...

I can show you picture evidence of my Dell that only lasted three years. Absolute shit quality. I will never go back to dell, especially for a laptop. Half the fucking keys fell out of the goddamn keyboard.


If you decide PC, go ASUS and put ubuntu on that bitch. w7 should always be your background OS no matter what kind of computer you have, mac or pc.




Oh yeah, and never NEVER buy a laptop with an integrated graphics card. Intel GMA whatever is always shit. And invest in either i5 or i7 processor.

^cant find an i5 or i7 in his price range

for under 600 dollars integrated graphics is what hes going to end up with

its not like he needs a video card he didnt say he was playing games on it, he needs a cheap workhorse machine that he can make music with

ew he can get a machine with double the specs of an ipad for that price why would he want one of those

plus getting third party shit like his DJ stuff to work with it is probably a fucking nightmare on the ipad

anyone who gets an ipad instead of a real laptop is a moron, no offense mean to you

wtf r u talking about

music making software relies on CPU and RAM, and also hard drive speed when it comes to large files

if it were a desktop i might agree with u because integrated graphics on a desktop is horrible for ANYTHING but at this point in the tech-game lappys with advanced graphics are still pretty pricey.

it was kind of a joke. kind of. i got all these apps for my ipad, and I could pretty much throw down a live show if needed with the ipad alone. the korg and moog apps are fucking legit to the bone.

and from what I'm told, it can take midi input now too.

pretty fuckin amazin for 499 if you ask me.

go ASUS and put ubuntu on that bitch
works quite well with a suite of appz called Backtrack 4.

the reason for a good graphics chip to run audio appz is to display all your effects rigs/devices on one screen...like with reason 4....it has minimum video requirements.

I had a chance to play with a Korg polyphonic @ one time.:nice:

also Organtua synths
and a Prophet synth...my fav.
