Buying new laptop

Hey guys, I'm buying a new mid- range laptop (PC). What are some things that I should look for to get the best performance for buzz. I don't have any interest in gaming. I do graphic esign and will install design programs.

I want to use buzz live with an m audio midi synth and using m audio fast track pro as an external soundcard. It probably needs to be reasonably durable as well.

Any tips on what is essential to look for?

I was using a HP Presario with 2 gig ram, 300 gig hsrd drive and 2.2ghz. I was running vista ultimate which was a pain in the but initially but after a bunch of updstes and tweaking worked fine.

Cheers

Vista? Run XP SP3. Your RAM should be enough if you don't do big orchestrals...

When it comes to audio and midrange notebooks, look for core i7 CPU / Windows7, descent screensize and 8GB of RAM. (RAM is cheap so could also update later).
Since the integrated audio chipsets aren´t exactly state of the art you could also get a small USB audio interface.

You want to look for good per-core performance primarily. So less cores that are more powerful instead of more cores that are less powerful.
