Please tell me what you think. I think #1 might also be powerful enuff to use for the web? I already have a laptop but it lacks a serial port so if I sold that for $300 that would be cool.
Having a CD capability is nice too. you can download Edit & ATAP software and any large files that you want on your broadband connected machine and then burn it to CD; and then load it on your laptop.
Whatever machine you get, it needs to have a good battery. otherwise, plan on getting a new one or buying a power inverter. You don't want the thing to die at the track or when uploading a PCM program.
