Mitch Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yer 256GB isn't enough storage when working with large amounts of music files and FL projects.However an SSD for the OS and another HDD for all your data works a treat. Thats how i run my desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonz Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Gremmy I don't need an ssd for production but also production isn't all about ur DAW use at the end of the day.But yeh its not necessary but wouldn't mind having it!Raptor 7200 next best thing..Thanks dood!I think the Asus and the Toshiba are on top.Plus the Asus has 16gb ram which is overkill but nothin' wrong with th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonz Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Who reckons the AsusAndWho thinks the Toshiba.????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Asus - 1080p screen, bluray, ram, backlit keyboard and apparently higher quality built in speakers. Doesn't cost much more than the toshiba and has those positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've never had much luck with the Asus in regards to warranty issues so thats one reason why I personally like the Toshibas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Have had asus laptops and pc components without a failure over the years, they are my favourite vendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonz Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Raptor, that's unfortunate dood..i have an Asus at the moment and its been a winner.But I think so far I've gotta agree with DRC1 and GREMMIS.and DRC1 I thought the Asus was cheaper anyway.under 1400 wasn't it??

SolDios Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 There warranty is rubbish though apparently, and they sell alot of lemons too apparently. Went in and saw the physical thing today, the build quality doesn't seem bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full HD screen. Not sure on video card cause for Bonz's purpose was irrelevant. But gaming laptops cost a fortune (compared to equivalent desktop).

SolDios Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Talked to my local friend who works in jb IT today, said Samsung where fine, he has only ever had 2 problems with the hundreds he has sold. Also he said if something goes wrong, best option is to take em straight to your local authorized service center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
