Scott,
What are you going to do with the computer? Are you going to use it for your performances, or are you going to record midi and WAV files? My backup desktop computer uses a 1.3 Ghz Celron processor and it has never given me a problem. I'm told, however, that the Celrons are not the greatest for complex graphics work or very high level recording purposes. But, for the kind of things most of us use the laptops for, lyrics, MP3s and midi files, the Celron will likely be just fine.
Good luck,
Gary
