What Drives Your DAW - Laptop Or Desktop?

[keyman_sam]

I can't tell if BONES is trolling, or if he is seriously incapable of understanding that someone else has needs and preferences different from his own.

You don't mind noise? Cool, stick to your dual-touchscreen acer whizbang. You want a silent Mac or a PC? That's cool too. Apparently this concept that different humans have different preferences, and there are companies catering to those preferences, is too foreign for some folks to grasp that the only logical conclusion is that they're lunatics.

Well, if people were able to explain the reason for their obsession, I might be able to understand it but, unless you live and work in an anechoic chamber with all your equipment cabled in from a separate soundproof chamber, fan noise form your computer seems to me not to be a top 10 source of extraneous noise in your average studio. I mean, the clacking of (piano) keys while I work is far noisier than any computer fan I've encountered but no-one seems to mind that.

People have different sensitivity to noise. Even my ever so quiet Mac mini drives me mad with fan noise when the fans kick in. There are daw pcs optimized for quietness. There is a real need for it, though you might not be their target audience.

It depends if you work with closed back headphones, opened back headphones, speakers in an acoustically treated room or your bedroom with a Bluetooth speaker lol.

You’re the one with the funky dual touch screen laptop right?

No, I have a Lenovo Legion Go. Laptops are so 20th Century.
