so, this automatically leads to this very famous question here:
which external card will be compatible (means working out of box) with the type of Lenovo laptop I want to buy. (it's not thinkpad series. it's G series G580, G780...etc.)
and as I'll already spend 700-900 euros on new lap top, the cheapest option will be better.
I need one mic input and a stereo output. (although more outputs can be always welcome, if it doesn't double up the price)
I don't need super hyper fantastic quality. just 'normal'.
cheap and work out of box with the most recent laptop + ubuntu set up would be more important than quality...
but one good bonus will be headphone amp + on board headphone volume control. I spend a lot of time with my Beyerdynamic DT-770.
and the reason why I insist on Lenovo models is simply I never had any other brand...before my first PC laptop, I was brainwashed by mac. so I have no idea about general PC stuff.
so plz don't hesitate if you can recommend a decent laptop from other brand.
thanks!

should be fine, but you can ramp up as to your needs. The audio
chips used in the Thinkpads have always been pretty low quality, I think
you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much better the sound is with an
external interface.
