They are actually starting to do digital audio workstations as well, so they know what's up. their notebooks are a bit bulky. but i hear that they are starting to make some more compact notebooks. i think the most important thing is what digital audio card you're doing to be using. a lot of companies are making excellent digital sound cards for notebooks now. if you need any more help, please feel free to PM me.

pod Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Alienware's systems are decent...being they need to pump a lot of horsepower for gaming, they usually have gobs of RAM and a decent CPU. To do audio work, I'd recommend the Thinkpad line from IBM...T series or A series... www.thinkpad.com ... at least shoot for a Pentium-IV mobile 2.00 Ghz, get at least 512 MB of RAM, and 80 gigs of HD space...obviously make sure a CD-RW/DVD-RW is on board.
