    Hello guys and gals,
    I was looking to buy this laptop. However I am unsure, for the purpose that I want to use it for. I also plan to downgrade to XP

    I want to use this laptop to record music, we will be using cakewalk(recording program) and a mixer or two. Do you guys think this will be an ideal laptop for what I plan to do? Such as, is the fan noise a bit high?

    Or do you guys have some other suggestions, if you do I am on a budget of 800 dollars, but of course I understand I will have to go a little over. Any input is GREATLY appreciated.
