Cupe Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Do you already use an external sound card at all? Quote
eggssell Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 get a ma.... ohhh but for realz I had an asus which lasted me from 2006 to late last year. never skipped a beat (admittedly I kept it on XP).. only thang bad was battery died after about a year, which they replaced. but I found it was always pretty shyte for battery power.but in terms of specs, it benchmarked better then the macbooks that came two years after. I guess the other thing in buying an asus do your research! they have heaps in jb but they are always the low to medium end. there are a gazillion and one models each year and not all of them get to aus. so check out the asus international website to figure out which is the best of the best at the mo Quote
eggssell Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 and the reason I say go for the best of the best. its for future proofing. by spending a few extra $ this year will mean the laptop will be good enough for a long time! Quote
Mitch Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Ill link you up with some models when I'm on computer. (I generally recommend dell as the warranty / post sale support is better than any other vendor, and it's what I sell at work) Quote
MoreSleep Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 yeh ill be using external Sound card.. thnx guys for help looking forward to checking out the links Mitch Quote
Kodiak Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Why do you want a laptop for the job? Can't use your existing PC? Quote
Mitch Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 XPS range is good, but pushing out your budget and only getting a 128GB hdd on thathttp://www.dell.com/au/p/xps-13-9333/pd ... ps-13-9333Lenovo Thinkpad T440 may be more in budgethttp://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/ ... ries/t440/I'd pick the base model on the left (no touchscreen), then bump the RAM up to 8GBthen depending on budget, i'd do some the following:-bump the processor up as far as you can-screen to HD-HDD up to 1TB-OS to windows 7 pro (if you prefer it over win8.. personal preference).-Warranty to 3 years onsite warranty (extra 300 bucks, but someone comes out to your house/work next business day and fixes something if it breaks). Warranty is a bit iffy, but I'd personally always go with it for peace of mind as I see plenty of stuff break working in the industry Really just depends on where you wish to invest your money. Quote
