Roland is the one I liked most, close to a real piano. The cost was about 1.5k.

If you're willing to get that kind of budget, then head on to a store to get some testing done;):cool:

On elast tip: play what you really know, so that you can get the feel and sounds of it. Best of luck ;)

Thanks!:D I am much more of a guitar player (been playing for around ten years or so), but I've grown an interest in piano a few years back and want to pursue it a tad more. Gonna pay a trip to the store tomorrow, so once again thanks!

I've been on a music shopping spree. These most likely will be my next catches. I am thinking about also investing in a vinyl setup but am not totally sure as I do wish to grab a DSLR finally.

Yeah it's a 1080P, 3D IPS display though. Not the biggest selling point for me though. mSATA, 3 hard drives, Quadro video card, etc. are the biggest for me. I have too many desktop items I want to consolidate so I can work on the go.

Possibly. The whole idea of this is to get rid of items like a desktop and 4 monitors. I'll probably have one 17 inch external monitor connected to it when I'm at my desk and that's it. My work requires power, not multi-monitors as much. But it's nice to be able to hook up 3 via VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort if need be.

The 16GB iPod Nano 7th Gen (Black)

I already own.
-64GB iPod touch 5th Gen (Black.) (Main iPod for Apps/Games/All my music/ and just about everything else)
-2GB iPod shuffle 4th Gen (Silver.) (Small iPod for my top 200 favourite songs)

The iPod Nano would hold all my music and it's small so it would be great to work out, run, and bike with

Same here. Heck, just with the recent price drops, A more high-end rMBP actually looks reasonable. Price can only be better when I eventually retire my current 2012 cMBP. Looking forward to it. Until then my cMBP is works just fine(LOVE this computer)
