Topic: Good all around Laptop Set-up

[funknyem]

Good morning all,

Hoping some of you experienced in Laptop Taping may be able to help with a quesition.  I am looking to get into taping, and want to go the route of  Laptop instead of DAT.  

Just want to know what would be required for a good beginner digital setup.  I am going to buy the laptop shortly and would just like to know what sort of items I need to make sure I have, amount of RAM, type of inputs, etc.

Also, what would I need to then get outside of the laptop, a/d converter, mics, etc..  and again any good recommendations on these items.

I am not looking to stealth at all.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!
