    Default Mini laptops.

    Can any one recommend any decent small laptops? I need something as compact as you can get that would run fruity and cubase etc Decent priced ones too, because I am piss poor.

    The ASUS EEE pc wont run cubase, its only 900mhz and runs on Linux.

    Try one of the 12" ones.

    Ooop, you did already. hence the limp. :lol:

    i know they run on linux, but i'm sure i've read that they will run on xp?

    edit:

    some of the higher end ones come with it installed, and you can put it on the others: http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/ins...usb-thumb.html

    still, might not be up to the task though eh? :/

    i was going to buy an eee 900, but the initial run comes with small battery. all i wanted was a portable writing device. i just bought an acer 12" aspire 2920. bought it for 450. there were cheaper laptops with better cpu, but i was looking for battery life and small size. i had to remove lots of junk from it, but it seems ok. sure it would run cubase, not sure how many vsts you could use though.

    you can buy a good laptop for audio production for 1000 euros or less

    check ACER website

    i know many people with laptops from acer , they are very cheap and the hardware is allways powerfull

    forget the ASUS EEE pc´s they are low end products , made for reading documents and navegate in the internet
