New Asus U53JC or Asus "Bamboo" as it is known as. Here is it's specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5 560M
Hard drive: 640 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 310M w/ 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM
and it has a socalled "ASUS Super Hybrid Engine", which i heard should be pretty good.
So, i am in desperate need of a new laptop, since my old piece of **** Lenovo can't handle anything, especially Pro Tools 8.
I talked to a computer guy, and he said this laptop would be a good choice, but i wanted to hear some opinions from other home-studio experienced guys who knows exactly what to look for.
Does this computer seem like it can handle Pro Tools 8 flawlessly with plenty of plugins and effects, etc. etc. Looks good to me, but since i don't know much about computers, i figured i'd get some help here!
The Asus Bamboo also has a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed slot, so i figured that would be awesome for my Mbox2.
Hope you guys can help me clear up my mind, and please, if you think this laptop would be a stupid choice, do indeed recommend other laptops that won't make my wallet hurt too much, but still does the trick, OR tell me what to look for when buying a new laptop for home studio recording, mixing etc.
Thanks in advance!
