I just got a brand new HP laptop (ordered on line) with lots of bells and whistles. I'll be using it for the usual things, plus recording in mind. Intel Quad Core, RAM 'til hell won't have it, and a dual hard drive--500 GB x 2, 7200 rpm! Ought to really honk!

I've used an HP for some years now, and it served me well until it coughed a couple of times and died a few weeks ago. But by the time that happened, I had decided to get a new one anyway. I'd had it for some years and it needed a lot of updating, so.....

I haven't had a chance to fire up the new one yet (tomorrow) and I'll have to load my stuff (backed up on an external hard drive) onto it. I'll have to play with it a bit and get used to a new operating system (Windows 7), so it'll be a few days. When I get acquainted with it, I'll write up a review, together with it's rather impressive specs.
