Ableton Forum

Hi All

I am looking for a new laptop to use ableton with. I also would need the laptop
for documents IE Word, but not loads of documents.
Is it also possible to use the internet, Ie emails, messenger with ableton-would it affect the performance.

I have looked at the mac ibook, book pro.
the ibook has only a small screen though

anyone help

there are tons of posts and threads going around about laptops right now, windows vs osx, and the new macbook pros, just check the first page.

if you have lots of money...go for a top of the line macbook pro...that's what my plan is in the next couple of months...I just need to sell my poewrbook g4, but I don't know if I want to sell it.

I woud say if you're gonna get a Windoze machine get one of those AMD Turion models. They're pretty zippy and they're relatively cheap. And you'll be ready for 64bit OS and apps.(Live 7?) Acer has a few models that are very affordable.

If money is an issue, I'd wait for Intel iBooks to be released. The monitor size may well change with the next generation.... Anyway, this is what I'll do - won't buy until late this year.
