Hi there
did you think about buying a laptop from a custom shop like PCAudiolabs or ADK?
also there is this thread http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/686047-audio-pc-laptops-buyers-guide-lets-make-sticky.html
I am working on a macbook pro but pricewise it's not recommended if you don't need OSX.
Good hunting

Hi
I'm replacing my lenovo X61s (dualcore 1.6Ghz) laptop, mostly due to a hard drive that's starting to fail and need some advice.
I'm having problems finding something that has the right balance between specs and price *and* has firewire. This means I might have to replace my Edirol FA-66 with an USB based sound card. Will I be able to get low latancy (<10ms) and reliable performance from an USB sound card? Any suggestions for a sound card (minimum 4in (2 of these should be phantom power) + 4out) what will provide zero-latency monitoring and work out-of-the-box with linux?
Right now I'm leaning towards a Lenovo IdeaPad U310 core i7, with 500GB HD + 24GB SSD, the idea would be to install the system on the SSD and have the data sit on the slower HD:

Any reasons this would be a bad/good choice?
