I have one of these (in for repair at the moment), and was wondering why

software?
If not, would it be worth using my usb hard disk as a recording medium?
What cardbus adapter were you using, and how hard was it to make it work
with linux?

It feels like my several year old PC will crap
out soon for one reason
or another, so I need a replacement, better sooner than later.
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.
