I could do with some advice here guys, I am looking to buy a new laptop, most of my use is music such as Ableton, I also run my Technics decks on occasion via DVS. I have been looking at this... http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/sony-vpceh3n6e-w-cek...It looks pretty good to me, I fancy a Macbook but I am on tour with the band shortly and have a lot of work to do on the laptop for live and creative production and I'm not sure if I can learn the new format as well as create what I need to? Would like advice on processors/RAM etc. Ta in advance. Corin

If you are doing mainly music stuff it has to be a mac. Get the best macbook you can afford (not the new '12 retina one though) fast processor, lots of RAM.
I know macs are expensive compared to PCs but you won't regret it, and it should last 5 years or more where as in my experience a PC laptop will be dying at 2-3 years. Learning a new system is not hard at all, the slight differences will only take you a few days then you won't look back.
The apple refurb store is good, my missus just got a macbook air from there and its perfect. I'd get the top end 13" macbook pro if I was you.

Please don't waste your money on a Sony laptop, particularly not a white one.
It may be trying to look like a MacBook, but it isn't a MacBook.
Also - in my experience, Sony laptops tend to favour form over function - they always look nice, but tend to be slower than contemporary models.
They also tend to be less durable.
As stated in the post above, either buy yourself a Mac, or get something cheap(ish).

IF your used to windows then buy a windows box, your software runs on it, it does everything very well so why spend more than you need to get an OS you dont know or understand?
Look at Asus they make some great laptops.
I wouldnt have thought you'd need much in the way of serious power for music stuff now? That stuff was working fine years ago?
