Can this laptop be used to make electronic music (ie. reason, acid, soundforge, etc)?

Is the HD big enough?

If so, I'm definitely interested.

I don't run any of those programs so I couldn't say for sure, which also relates to your question about the HD size. I run stuff like Photoshop without any problems at all though, so I can only assume it will handle the stuff without any problems. As a nice feature it has firewire which should help if you're moving around large sound files to external sources like a firewire HD or whatever.

I should also mention that I'm located downtown just steps from Yonge/Dundas in case anyone is interested at taking a look at it.

yes it can but you will have limitations to how many tracks and effects processing you use,I am also not sure about the audio interface but you might need an external one for better sound quality

you'll need a special soundcard for it... as well as Maxed out ram... other than that... this is a wicked laptop...

will do the trick for audio prodution

it's fast enough to do pretty much anything

although things like cubase can never get enough processing power i hear

anyone into producing should be planning on spending a significant amount of $$ on a special soundcard too

It came with a silly amount of padding and bubble wrapping. The bubble wrapping is not included as I've had too much fun poking it, now it's all gone

Still for sale ... was supposed to sell it to someone for $900 plus I was going to include a USB Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer. So that's the new deal for anyone that is interested.
