Laptop specifications for strictly music.

[MaxTraction]

Hey I want to buy a laptop that is just for my music library. I would be using itunes for my cataloging. I would also maybe use the laptop for recording my band and video editing. I dont really care about size but maybe smaller the better.

-Fast
-LOTS OF HARDDRIVE SPACE
-USB ports
-Good graphics card

...Im not really a computer tech but any advice would be great

What budget?
For size, you would find 15.6" cheaper than the smaller one based on same spec.

Id say im willing to pay up to 1500 dollars.

I'm not a big Apple fan, but the music and video industry can't wholly be wrong for using Macs.

You can get a decent Macbook Pro for 1500 bucks....

And if you have a big pair of "you know what", you can get one with a small HDD and void warranty by installing a big HDD yourself (not that I would recommend doing so with a brand new Mac)

Don't really know whether you need to spend 1500$ for video Editing,music.

Agreed... the cheaper the better I guess.

you don't void the warranty by replacing the hardrive.

 

[Noahr55]

it says it in the manual how to install a hardrive...

You can save your self $200 if you don't mind the bulkiness, also this one you can install a second hard drive in it.
