If anyone has a thing of slagging off DELL computers. please don't you should thank yourself lucky that there are companies like dell producing high end workstations and those who know their stock. you have to remember that not all laptops will have compatible graphics cards or sound chips installed that is the law of "sod" so you just have to respect companies with their expertise, they don't deal with access technologies like jaws or certain other tools so dont necessarily have to look into these things. I own a Dell Inspiron 5100 pro notebook and have ATI radeon graphics installed and its doing great for audio. it runs sonar, sibelius and other tools including Native Instruments Komplete with no problems at all thank yourselves lucky you didn't go apple to be shafted by them when you came to use software you would have assumed accessible and it isn't! lew do forgive me for that but this is the thing business wise
