Oops, I forgot an important advice in my post below: Make sure you buy a lappy with enough USB ports! I'm working every day on an Apple Powerbook and it's a constant source of irritation having to swap USB cables all the time. The Logic dongle has to stay in one USB port all the time, then you have MIDI interface and eventual USB MIDI keyboard controllers, USB MIDI mixers etc. And of course the printer. Also, Celeron based CPU have proven not good for audio work, but I guess you knew that ;-) Per >> scha kruger <sascha50000@web.de> >> ____________________________________________________________________ >> >> hello. i´m using logic and don´t want to change to mac but use it >> mobile, so >> i want to buy a pc-laptop. is anybody having experiences with one, >> what do i >> have to look for etc... >> >> thanks in advance >> >> sascha >> > > > Look for the same stuff as with Apple laptops!
