Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section...
I'm at the stage where I need a new machine. I've got an old desktop I build about 6 of not more years ago now - still a fairly beefy machine - 8gb ram, quad core etc but it's getting a little past it.
I'm thinking about either a new desktop or potentially a laptop that I could also use on the desk with monitors etc.
What do I use it for; other than standard computer use it'll predominantly be used for audio works - recording/ editing/ processing (something like albeton live), running VMs and a bit of photo editing.
I'm looking for something fairly powerful with a good decent spec but also don't want to pay through the roof.
Keep to see peoples views on whether a desktop or laptop would be better? I guess the reasons for considering a laptop is portability wise and use around the house...i have little intention on take out of the house.
Thanks
