I just got some solid state usb 3.0 drives for my wifes new Macbook pro (Windoews)
Those things are so cool, fast and cheap.

make sure your laptop has a usb 3 or firewire  port  (dunno if they have Thunderbolt for PC's yet) and get your self a few drives (audio, samples and backup)

Much to my surprise, and my wife's, I returned from a recent trip to Wellington without a new synthesizer, I tried out the Moog Slim Phatty and the DSI Mopho, I quite liked the Mopho but in the end I decided to stick with the Microkorg.

I also tried the Roland Gaia  which has a great layout but to my ears a rather disappointing sound. Oddly enough if I was going to be tempted to buy another synthesizer it would be the M-Audio Venom.

Anyway with Windows 8 on the horizon I've decided to replace my 10 yr old laptop with something a bit more powerful.

I am computer literate but I haven't been following hardware for some years, I am looking at getting a laptop with an Intel I5 processor, 4 gig of ram and a 500 gig hard drive running windows 7.

I'll be using my usb sound card. I can't face getting to grips with Apple and anyway I've got too much pc software that I still want to use.

Anybody have any other suggestions or advice?

Thanks

Mark
