I just bought a Yamaha S80. While I'll use it immediately for live performance, I want to get into midi recording, something I've never done before.

I have a computer, but it's not convenient to use with the keyboard ... so am thinking of buying a cheap laptop to use exclusively for sequencing purposes. Having just sunk $1800 in keyboard stuff, I'd like not to spend much money.

Appreciate any advice on whether a cheap laptop, say 133 MHz, would be suitable for the purpose I described above, i.e. is a low processor speed okay for sequencing purposes? Any watchouts or points I may want to consider before going down this low cost route?

All advice appreciated. Thanks.
