Notebook suitable for "on-the-road" recording
Hi,
I am thinking of buying a new notebook which I want to use for jam sessions as a platform for my Kontakt 4 instruments. I also want to run Sonar X1 on it and record mainly projects containing 3-5 VST Soft synths (SD 2.2, NI Alicias Keys, NI Vintage Keys, GPO4...) and a few (one or two) audio tracks.
What HW configuration or notebook brand would you suggest me? I do not want to spend more than 600-700 EUR on it. My benchmark is my DAW PC configuration of which is in my signature. I can record and run similar and bigger projects on it without any problem, using Edirol M16-dx audio interface.
I would buy a new interface as well, probably one with MIDI IxO and 4 audio channels, USB.
Here is one of my candidates:
LENOVO ThinkPad Edge E520
Intel Core i3 2310M @2,1 GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
500gb 7200rpm HDD
Win7 64bit
Intel HD Graphics 3000
or
LENOVO ThinkPad L420 7854-4WG
Intel Core i5 2410M s frekvencí 2,3 GHz
4GB DDR3
500gb 7200rpm HDD
Win7 64bit
Intel HD Graphics 3000
??
