Ableton Forum

And what about brands ... I am not a gamer, but I understand that gaming laptops are usually pretty powerful. But I have never heard of the makes MSI or Medion. TBH I had thought Asus was an unknown brand until it was mentioned in the post above. If I have to give on one thing (due to costs) what wo...
