Re: NEW laptop computer suggestions...My "road" laptop is a $330 walmart compaq I actually bought one night when I was doing a week long theater gig out of town. It runs plenty of freeware audio and document processing software with no problems. A $60 Lexicon interface and the built in CD burner works just fine for basic board recordings. I'm usually a proponent of fixing things when they break, but all of the computers I have owned have been such a pain in the ass to repair I opted to get something disposable for when it gets rained on or run over by a forklift.That being said, as worn out and beat to he'll as it was, my previous laptop, a used panasonic toughbook CF28 was absolutely indestructible. If I had the need or disposable income, I would get a new one of those. My iPhone handles so much of my computing needs anymore, the laptop has become secondary.
