Any type of Gaming cpu will do the job. Basically you need a gaming laptop without the high quality graphics card.

see a lot of producers with Alienware laptops nowadays
Budget? Software you use?
Basically this. 8gbs of ram, a tolerable cpu, and the works. Basically the closest thing to a budget gaming pc in laptop form will do the job.
Thanks for the replies. What laptops are yous using?
Fl and pro tools at the moment.. Maybe ableton further down the line. Don't really have a budget..so long as it isn't too stupid

I used a PC which I build years ago. It gets the job done for beats, gaming and school stuff.

A Mac could be nice but those things are rape price wise to get just a shytty one. Your best bet if you do go mac is to get one for sale on Ebay and maybe get a deal on a 2015 one with 8gb ram or if your techy buy the ram yourself and replace it.
With you using FL though you're gonna need a PC so for PC's you could ball out and get an alienware which is over a grand even on Ebay, you could get a Razer Blade which is over a grand, you could get an MSI like homie post above me mentioned, you could get a nice HP laptop like the Envy or something or a Dell. Me personally I got me a spectre which has a touch screen and mine came with 16gb's ram, a good processor though it's a U processor and 500gb SSD for 900+ so I got mine for a steal.
As for buying I recommend trusted users on Ebay who have tons of good reviews, you could find good deals there. Especially from this seller where I bought my computer back in october

Got an Acer Aspire E15, yeah Acer is 
but it's like 500 bucks and I can make beats.
I tried a Dell laptop a few months ago and could only make like one beat tape before it crashed on me and I had to return it.

Sorry, that's another B
I need a new laptop as well. My ableton screams for dear mercy as soon ad I load to many plugins and compression. But I'm running on a shytty Notebook with literally 1.0ghz of processing power. I'm thinking of getting a gaming laptop.
EDIT : Macs are really good for music I heard but as yall mentioned, the price is crazy, gaming laptops are the way.

Failure is not a option
PC laptop with a i5 or i7 that comes with at least 8gb ram..do research on the heating levels of the motherboard/cpu as with any daw the computer will be running long periods of time. expand the ram to 16gb ram and you should have zero lag no matter how many effects or plugins you use so your not restricted..for faster laptop loading times swap the hard drive or purchase with a faster hard drive or even better a SSD or run external and run all your daw programs and sample packs from there
, get a good external soundcard and you should be the next metro boomin.
