I'm wantig to buy a laptop and set up an audio workstation with it. Dancintdots gave me a 1400 dollar price on the laptop. I also have to upgrade the caketalking and cakewalk software programs as well as buy a controler as I don't have a keyboard with enough sounds. . What do you guys recommend. Is there an advantage in going with a mac? Any suggestions would be appriciated. Thanks Tim Kilgore
