The heart of any recording setup is the computer. At the end of the day, you can have the best audio interface, studio monitors and plugins, but if your laptop isn’t up to scratch, you’ll never be able to take advantage of all your fancy music-related tech. That’s why we get very excited when we see discounts on laptops, and Memorial Day is the perfect time to grab a deal. Right now, Dell is offering up to $500 off in their summer sale, with plenty of highly spec’d laptops that are perfect for home recording. 

This sale has something for everyone, from lightweight, portable options to larger format towers. Now, when it comes to finding the best computer for music production, you’ll want to pay close attention to a few details in the specifications - mainly the RAM and hard drive space.
