mmm....ok.
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!

my problem with combo is that even if it works
fine,
I use mic input and headphone output at the same time when I perform. (I
don't sing, but I use my voice to trigger some efxs...etc.)
mic input --> process --> headphone out
pffff...maybe it's time to consider purchasing a external card?
it seems that combo jack is new trend. many laptops I've found
interesting
comes with combo setup...
You'll definitely want an external audio interface, an inexpensive one
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.
