need advice on windows laptop

Post by markthree »

Hi, i need to find a mobile solution as I'll be moving around for a few months, and won't be able to have my mac pro with me all the time.

I cannot afford a MacBook Pro and since I invested a lot in my trashcan mac pro, I wouldn't want to spend that much money for another mac, so I was considering a PC laptop with 16 GB of ram and an i7 processor...for example a recent HP Envy 15 or 17...for 1200 Euros they have 16 gb of ram, 5th generation i7 processor, usb3 etc...

the only drawback is the Hard drive that's a slow 5400rpm...



I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion regarding this and have experience running Digital Performer 9 on pc (never tried myself) with just Vienna Instruments Pro instances and maybe a few kontakt instances.



thanks a lot in advance for your help

all the best!
