I would buy the laptop from MTU because I know it will work, but I don't do shows and the MTU laptop is too expensive for just my personal use. MTU used to have other laptops, but now they only sell the one at about $2,000 with Hoster installed.
So once again, what did you buy and how's it working? Any input would be great.
Thanks,
Wes

Most computer/laptops today off the shelf work well with Hoster. I have an older (07) HP Pavillion laptop with 64 bit Vista that works flawlessly. Just ran an 8 hour show non-stop, outside in 90+ degree weather not too long ago without as much as a hiccup in audio or graphics & it's just a basic Intel N-Vidia based card built in. I do use an external sound card for better audio than the headphone jacks of the build in audio cards tend to provide. As long as the specs of the computer match or better Hosters minimum specs, you should be good on most any choice - just check the user reviews on anything you look at.
