    Ok a mate is looking for a laptop which she can use for editing Audio, she will be using an external soundcard like M-Audio or Digidesign.

    She has been advised to get a Laptop with 2gb RAM, Centrino Duo, 7200rpm hard drive.

    Now I have come across 3 options:
    HP 2045EA with 1gb Ram T2300 1.66ghz and 100gb HDD 5400rpm for €1249
    Sony FE31H with 1gb Ram T2300 1.66ghz and 120gb HDD 5400rpm for €1399
    Philips X54 with 2gb Ram T2300 1.66ghz and 100gb HDD 5400rpm for €1299

    Any opinions or other suggestions around that price range and spec?

    Thanks

    What are the requirements for audio editing? Is it just horepower, memory and disk space?

    If so, then it's really down to manufacturer preference. I would give the HP a miss and go for the Sony for sheer build quality. I haven't heard anything either way on Phillips.

    If shes serious about it she'll avoid all of the above and get a Mac. They're the best for Audio and Video editing.
