okay, at some point in the next few months I am buying a laptop. I won't be using it to tape but I would like to do transfers on it.
I'm thinking I want at least 256mb RAM, 40gb HD, and firewire capabilities. Do they make DVD-R drives for laptops? Oh yeah.. this will be running some version of Windows, any recommendations on what is the best version for audio?
I know the VIAO is highly recommended.. does anyone have any other ideas? What are some good places to look for VIAO's?
