Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a new laptop for when I DJ and also for my music production. The priorities for me are speed and low latency, quick access of files, but graphics aren't that important to me.
Also I've been quoted getting the 120gb intel 525 mSATA SSD, but for an extra £5 I could get the 240gb Kingston SSDNow mS200. I've looked at review sites but to be honest I don't really understand the differences.
What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
