Subject:Buying a laptop Posted by: gazercmh Date:1/29/2003 8:34:31 AM Hello all. I'm getting set to buy my first laptop, and want to use Sound Forge (6.0) and Acid (3.0) on it. Anyone got advice on what features to get, beyond making sure the laptop meets the system requirements that Sonic Foundry gives for the software? Also, anyone have advice on laptop sound cards? Are the USB external cards the best way to go? I hear that Toshiba laptops have optical outputs -- anyone use these? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello all.

I'm getting set to buy my first laptop, and want to use Sound Forge (6.0) and Acid (3.0) on it.

Anyone got advice on what features to get, beyond making sure the laptop meets the system requirements that Sonic Foundry gives for the software?

Also, anyone have advice on laptop sound cards? Are the USB external cards the best way to go? I hear that Toshiba laptops have optical outputs -- anyone use these?

Any tips would be appreciated.
