Look.. I was just pointing out an option, I only paid 219 dollars for this, and sound doesn't really require a whole lot of CPU time anyhow. MIDI was developed in 1983.. You could do midi sequencing with a commodore 64. The only major difference is the handling of digital audio and software synths. BTW, this laptop does fine for what it has. I guess I could splurge 1200 for a laptop that will be 300 dollars in 4 years, and I'd have some knowitall telling me that it's not modern enough. Remember, you are talking to a linux crowd, not the Mac *cough*Snob*cough* Crowd.
BTW, I have paid thousands of dollars for machines in the past. 2800 for a Commodore Amiga 3000 .. And about 3000 for a Dell Dimension b800r (I think that's the model number), Maximum PC gave it a 10 in 1999.. BTW, I still have both. I'm currently building a Nvidia 750i with a Pentium D 3.73Ghz (overclockable to 4.2 Ghz). With the fastest ram I can get and such.. The cost is going to be about 500 dollars, and the first time I've built a PC by myself. That will be my Ubuntu Studio sound machine. But laptops are costly, if all you want to do is experiment with sound, a T30 is adequate. > The rest of the advice is sound, boot one of these machines with a > Ubuntu Live CD or bootable USB stick.
