I need to buy a new laptop. What minimum requirements do I need to run something like Repro, and whatever else is in the pipeline, without too much trouble?

PC not Apple.

PC system requirements according to u-he.com:

Current PC
Modern CPU (Sandy Bridge architecture or newer recommended)
Windows 7 or newer
1GB RAM, more recommended
60MB free disc space
display 1000x600px and up

Not sure whether the above is "comfortable requirements".
For "pipeline requirements", assume the same or slightly higher for the forseeable future.

I use Dell i3 laptop and only have the 2nd BETA version of Repro 1, one instance is useable as long as you dont go mad with long reverbs and the like, two instances is pushing it. The full release is meant to be a lot better on the cpu though. Just get the most specced laptop you can, a strong cpu is a must for Repro1

Ugliness, however, goes right the way through

Thanks.

AMD CPU's aren't recommended, then?

(I hate buying technology - far too much research)

Get an i7 Quad Core.

AMD''s are perfectly fine. You just need to get the fastest you can afford, even after the recent changes.

As usual. :D It hurts, but, it'll pay out in the end. For the next couple of years or so. Realistically, i'd have to upgrade/buy a new computer now too, after 3 years of having this one (not that i plan to...). That's the way it is, unfortunately. It's really going lightspeed fast these days.

While Repro uses quite a bit for a single voice a single or even a couple of instances can't choke my cpu as Diva while playing chords.

Is this using just a single core?

I twigged that Urs recommended a quadcore not for single instances of Repro, but for stuff like Diva where multicore comes in useful. Which means more cost. Oh well.
