Tema: Is this laptop any good

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Looking for a new laptop for vdj at the moment, audio only but might have a wee play in the house with video, it's to be used with a denon hc4500 so that takes care of the sound card.
HP laptops look good value for money just now but not sure what to go for.

seen the HP Pavilion Artist Edition dv2899ea Core 2 Duo T9300 4096MB 320GB

Is this any good or is there anything else i should look at around the same price or cheaper.

Cheers in advance for any help

Sorry but in my experience, that system will not work well with VDJ + video.
Check out the research I've done here: http://brewerj2000.wordpress.com/

Worth the read. There's also some link backs to some of the other posts and dialogue that we've had here recently on the subject.

not really looking to do video with it tho, I've never tryed video before but MIGHT give it a try in the house to waste some time when i,m bored, so this will really only be used as an audio only laptop with vdj.

Is it capable enough???
