I'm looking for a laptop, I'll be using the internet and as far as music goes, all i want to run on it is propellerhead reason 3.0. I looked around online for that programs system requirements but I had a hard time finding anything.

I'm looking to buy used, and of course for as cheap as possible, but if I have to save a little then so be it.

What specs should I look for? Apple vs pc, etc.

Thanks in advance guys

I found a great deal on clearance at Best ...
Mind you it was a b-day present for my daughter NOT my studio,or mobiledaw.
Acer Extensa EX4620-4605
1.46ghz dual-core pentium,
(Her's actually had a 1.6ghz dualcore,dumb luck on the display model )
2gig a ram
160gigHD
DVD Superdrive
1-firewire/4-usb
$419
Here's the kicker, its clearance so if you can find a store with either open box or display still in stock,they could mark it down as low as $319 managers discretion.With the money you save by a oem copy of win XP Pro and dual boot.XP PRO for studio,Vista for internet.
