ASUS laptops for audio work?
Anyone have experience with ASUS laptops for audio work?
I was originally looking at the W3V which is a slick-looking object and packs a lot into 2.2kg. The DVD writer can be swapped out for a second HD which might be useful, though I imagine in practice I would just burn a DVD backup of location recordings until I got back to home base. Now there's the dual-core A6Ja which promises longer battery life, quieter operation, more RAM, a bigger hard drive, and a much faster processer... for the same price. It doesn't have the hard drive bay and is bigger and 500g heavier. For that you get a larger screen (15.4" vs 14") though not more resolution (both are WXGA, at least in the configurations I can get). Both models have a PCMCIA slot (a rapidly disappearing feature) so I could purchase the adapter for my RME Multiface. But for the same price I might prefer to just get a Presonus FireBox so I can save on carrying around a mixer. I'll be doing live sound performances using Reaktor, location recordings into Samplitude and that sort of thing. So... any tips? Will the larger screen matter? Will I hate the slightly bigger form factor? Any idea about the firewire compatibility? ----- robin noisetheatre.blogspot.com |
