Armistice
Son of Yoda
Hi
About time for a new laptop. It's just to replace my basic around-the-house machine that I do all my general computing, browsing, emailing etc.
I have a very powerful / fast separate desktop for audio recording / mixing etc.
Question is whether, for occasional offsite recording tasks (which would probably run to no more than two tracks at a time seeing that's all my interface supports, via microphone anyway), the 5400 rpm drive on the one I'm looking at will be an issue. I'm not going to mix on it, just track, occasionally.
I can get very good deals via the employee program (via my cousin) for this particular manufacturer so I tend to stick with them.
It's an i7 / 8MB RAM / 1TB 5400rpm SATA in terms of its main specs.
I ask only because the poor old beast it's replacing is an i3 4MB RAM 7200rpm 500GB drive machine which seemed to perform occasional recording duties well enough.
