This time it should be a laptop and I heard that formerly IBM and now
Lenovo thinkpads are of good build quality, even if they only come
with intel CPUs and cost an arm and a leg.
So, do you have any experience with those for audio work?
I'd be most interested in the T and R series and more recent models.
Also helpful would be some data that's impossible to find on websites:
- What chipsets are built in?
- do the usb buses and the like share interrupts with something nasty
like graphics?
the x61s, while otherwise a very nice notebook, shares an interrupt
between the 1394 and sata controller, which is kind of nasty when you
want to do hd recording over a ffado device. i ended up adding a cardbus
adaptor to obtain decent latencies.
