Looking for the best PC laptop computers for music production and recording in 2018 for your DAW home recording studio?
Out of all the components in the home recording studio, your PC music laptop computer is one of the most import choices you'll have to make!
You have two formats of computers to choose from, PC or Mac. In this article I am going to focus on the PC music laptop computer.
A minimum of a 2.5GHZ Quad Core computer is highly recommended. Dual cores just don't have enough speed compared to a quad core. A 250GB hard drive is sufficient because you only run the DAW software on the main drive, and you song files, virtual instrument, etc. are either on additional drives or on external drives. I use external drives because you can easily disconnect them and put them in a safe place when you leave the house.
