Though I don't see how a $300 laptop is going to be able to "grow" for a few years. Nor how it will handle playing back good quality sounds (NOT the Finale Software synth sounds, but more like the Garritan sounds)
I'd still say some sort of Mac. iMac for desktop, or a laptop. Plus they can drive additional monitors with the addition of a simple plug, and the high end iMac can drive two additional monitors. Even my 2006 iMac can drive an additional monitor. And you also don't have to worry about viruses, windows registry problems, driver issues, or any of the other headaches you get with a PC..... Plus, you get Time Machine, which is absolutely amazingly easy to use. I've saved my self several times by having it on. Like if I made a change to a score or a file and then wanted to go back to the old version. Boom, it's there. -- Eric Dannewitz Musician/Polymath On Monday, May 23, 2011 at 12:29 PM, Kim Patrick Clow wrote: > > Deal News has wonderful daily listings for specials that they find via > the Internet.
