Alright, so the wife has given me the go ahead, as soon as our last credit card is paid off (couple months) to get a laptop computer. You see, I really do need one for school (I'm a computer programming major), plus I'm getting extremely tired of stand alone recording, especially when it comes to editing.
So here's my possible rig choice, let me know what you guys think. Keep in mind, I don't need a monstrosity, so that's why it's relatively small.
Dell 8100 with 1.2Ghz PIII, 256MB RAM, 40gig HD
A 60gig, 7200rpm Firewire external drive, for song data
Aardvark USB3 24bit recording I/O. The cool thing about this thing is that it has guitar inputs, as well as 1/4" line inputs so i can either just use my POD direct in, or I can connect up my Behringer mixer to record drums.
The Aarvark comes with Guitar Tracks2, but I'd definitely upgrade to Sonar, because Guitar tracks only allows 8 tracks, (yuck) and Sonar also has lower latency.
I still have my AMD desktop for storage, and CD burning. What do you guys think?
