Best laptop or desktop build for home audio recording?

[da59404]

Hi guys, new to the forum (no flames, please)!

I'm looking for a solid laptop or desktop build for home audio recording. Obviously, graphics are not important.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a moderately strong computer for a small home studio? I'm not looking for anything too fancy.

If possible, I'd like suggestions for laptops. My budget is $750 or less. Yes, I know I won't be able to get much power for that money, but guess what ... that's what the community is for. I want to know the consensus of what I COULD get.

And no, I'm not a fan of Macs.
