I need a new computer!

Hi there.



I need a new computer!



My ASUS G73Jh laptop is old and tiered, but I’m not sure what to replace it with.



I’ve got a Scarlett 18i20 interface. However, it’s not stable on PT11 in that -6001 errors occur when moving between sessions of a different bit rates. This might be an issue with W7, but I’m still not sure as the Focusrite help wasn’t very helpful. PT10 is okay, but for the purpose of getting a new computer there’s hardware and plugins that are not compatible.



So, I’m not wedded to the 18i20, I’m not wedded to PC and I'm not wedded to a laptop. I just want something that works. I’m not sure whether I should stay with PT10 or 11.



I’m therefore wondering whether anyone has any recommendations based on experienced configurations of interface, protools version and computer.



I’ve checked the Avid PT Qualified Windows Computers information, but I’m not feeling any more confident about making a purchase.



Cheers,

Matthew.
