Need a PC laptop to run Ableton Live

Hi all,

I need a new laptop for running mainly Ableton Live on a budget under 1k so a Macbook Pro is out of the picture I think. I’ve been looking at the Scan 3XS machines. Does anyone have any experience of these?

My aim is to have just Live and Overbridge with my Elektron boxes. Maybe keeping my Access Virus ti2.

that looks like kinda a bargain tbh! Am bookmarking this myself…

edit - ah, I thought it seemed cheap, I was looking at the basic shell price :wink:

It’s a powerful cpu for the money. Fully built it’s £920 which I think is still pretty good

yeah, it still looks pretty darn sweet, but when I thought it was £600 I was thinking I should get one now, even though I don’t need one yet.

:wink:

I’d have purchased straight away at £600 too!

I had a 3XS system years ago. It was rock solid. The staff are great as well so if you have any questions give them a call.

I moved to Mac with my last machine. I feel stuck in the Mac eco system now but if I wasn’t I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing from them again.
