To my great surprise I received my new laptop today. I hadn’t even received a notice that it had shipped! Actually they said it would ship this coming Monday.
My first impression is quite impressed. The machine is tiny and light, and from what I can tell quite fast. The keyboard is going to take some getting used to, but I think this will work out quite well. And as it turns out I have 2 unsecured wireless access points within range (though I’m currently using my wired network as I type this blog post on the new machine).
Any suggestions as to what a laptop needs?
a laptop. wow
– firewire recording interface
– wireless mouse
– webcam (w/mic)
– docking station
1394 is firewire isn’t it? Ya know, now that I think about it it doesn’t have bluetooth. I would love to use my headset with it. Oh well.
What recording terface would you recomend?
M-Audio Firewire Solo.
Actually if you just need a mic input, I’d get the Samson USB condenser mic. Supposed to be fairly good w/ a street price of $79. Plug it right into your laptop and go.
(I hate this word verifying – half the time you can’t even tell what letter they’re trying to get you to put in)
I’ll look into the Samson.
And the word verifying cuts down on a lot of the spam (which can be quite bad).
