Greetings,
My first thread here so hi im Rob
!
Basically, my dilema is, I am interested in recording my own music with my guitar etc. I am looking at getting a professional recording soundcard and was looking at the 1616m E-MU. I can pick this up for around £300.
Obviously, its a laptop card, so i need a laptop! I have around £800 to spend. On the E-MU website the laptops which are confirmed as being compatible are:
IBM ThinkPad T40
Compaq Presario 2100
Dell Inspiron 600m
HP Pavilion zv5000
IBM Thinkpad T23
IBM Thinkpad A22P Pentium III 933MHz Laptop TI PCI-1450
Dell Latitude (X5502) Laptop TI PCI-1420
Sony Viao PCG-V505EX Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475(II), R5C520
NEC VERSA LXI (X5138) Laptop TI PCI-1450
HP pavilion N5310 Intel Celeron 750MHz (X5140) TI PCI-1420
Toshiba A75 (X5953) P4 2.8 GHz Laptop ENE Technology CD-1410
However i was wondering if there was any OTHER laptops or specifically BETTER laptops for the price of £800 which come with the requirements of the soundcard, obviously im recording, so fast rendering is needed, and being able to play wow and cs1.6 would be an added bonus.
I havnt detailed the requirements of the card yet but:
Intel® or AMD® processor - 1 GHz or faster
Intel, AMD or 100% compatible motherboard & chipset
Microsoft® Windows® XP (SP 2) or 2000 (SP4)
256MB System RAM
900MB of free hard disk space for full installation
Available Type II CardBus slot (PCMCIA slot)*
CD-ROM/CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive required for software installation
XVGA Video (1024 X 768)
I have now. Sorry about the large post, and im not sure if this is the best place to post however it is sound related and i know nothing about laptops and the way their soundcards hook up.
BTW i was ALSO looking at the fujitsu xi1546 laptop, if i can persuade someone from work to get it for me (i work for fuji but i dont have discounts for 6months).
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Rob
