he's probo right. you can still play out from a desk top pc. i whouldnt want to take my carillon desktop out it weighs a fecking ton. if you realy want a laptop. why not!. get best spec you can afford. or just spend more time at home on a desktop making music. at the end of the day it doesnt realy matter long as its powerful anoth and you get the job done! chould spend a year on making your tracks. then buy that time chould of saved for a laptop. it makes no odds as long as the music is getting made. lap tops are cool tho. can just whack it in ya bag. pull it out roung ya mates house and start making a tune.
