subnotebook/netbook w/ linux 4 electronic music?

[Marc Nostromo [M-.-n]]

Michael,

One thing you have absolutely remember is that subnotebook will mean
(somehow) sub performances (compared to full blown laptop). With that in
mind, think a lot of the context you want to use it and what you will do
with reduced performances. Maybe then you can think about going very low in
budget (like I said, there's still plenty of things to do with eee's 701).

My life wouldn't be the same without subnotebooks but for laptop gigs, I had
to switch to an old MB because they gave me nothing but trouble.

Regards
