But still, I need a laptop, and so here I am shopping and probably about to make some stupid and unrecoverable mistake that will cost me everything. Perhaps there are guys here who can recommend a specific model for doing sound. If I didn't want to make a mistake I would try to get a firm recommendation and if that were lacking, the output of cat /proc/interrupts; lspci; dmesg; etc. from a linux live CD. At least you could know the hardware you have and the interrupts configuration. A good utility would be a test script to measure data throughput and latency. There must be such tools around.
