It wasn’t that long ago that producing music (in a Windows environment) in your bedroom required a powerful desktop PC, or if you wanted to make music on the go, you would need to carry around a large, heavy laptop (that would usually run like a furnace).
However, after receiving my Acer Ferrari One netbook last week, I decided to see how it performs when running Propellerhead’s latest software: Reason 5 (although Reason 6 will be released at the end of September).
To install it, I had to use an external USB DVD drive (as the netbook doesn’t have an optical drive) and the whole program installed in under 10 minutes.
Once complete, Reason took about 20 seconds to load up, and I was presented with the demo song.
