Desktop vs. Laptop

[Musicman51]

I like to keep the operating system as simple as possible. Nothing extra to lug around. I use a simple laptop, with an external with all my KMA's on it. Never had any complaints yet about how it sounds. Now my sound system? thats something else, very complicated,...and it kicks serious butt!

I don't have any problems with either of my laptops with regard to sound. I have two Dells: A Latitude E5500, and an Inspiron 1520. I use an external IOmega 160GB hard disk drive connected to two of the four USB ports. I have a backup drive which is a 120GB Western Digital IDE in an enclosure. The sound comes out fine through my Mackie mixer to the 2 S12e Yamaha Speakers, and one floor monitor.

capnvic,
Thanks for your nice reply. I also own a pair of yamaha speakers as well. I own 2 Club Series 15's. They are just a great workhorse. I keep my computer system simple, because thats about all i can do at my age..lol I am not a computer geek. So a laptop, an external HD, and an Edirol interface for audio seems to work just dandy for me.
But i am a gear guru. I enjoy using all types of gear, i fell in love with the Peavey FX16 board. This board and it's effects for the money, sounds better then any other i have used. And i have used them all. Glad to hear your Mackie and yamaha do the trick. I am currently using 4 Carvin LM series speakers. I have a 15" 2 way, and a 15" 3 way on each stand, using two stands. So i run 4-15", 2 horns, and two 6" speakers. Also 2 Warfendale 12" Monitors, and 2 JBL 18" subs. Of course i may be using something else next week...lol I also use an SKB rack with various gear in it as well. I enjoy talking gear, or any problems one might have, or questions about almost any type of audio equipment. My favorite brands? Joe Meek, and Avalon. Here are a couple photos.
Also a posting on the Carvin forum awhile back where i traded out the transducers on these cabs.
Thanks for your nice reply. George
