Scan Computers have teamed up with American system builders ADK to provide a range of PCs designed specifically for working with audio. The new models come with either 15- or 17-inch screens, and can be customised to suit your needs and price point.
The basic components, Scan say, have been chosen for their reliability and performance, with all-in-one I/O chips being eschewed in favour separate WiFi and Firewire solutions, the latter coming from trusted manufacturers Texas Instruments. Pricing for the new range starts at under £1000 for the basic 15-inch model, with an Intel i5 520M Mobile CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 320GB hard drive, while the top-of-the-range 17-inch laptop has a Core i7 720QM processor, up to 8GB RAM and can be loaded with a 500GB hard drive.
The Scan/ADK laptops are available to buy now, and more info can be found on the Scan Computers web site.
