Thanks Jim. I primarily want one for simultaneously tracking 16 tracks or so. Not planning on doing heavy mixing with it.

As long as you don't mind working at ASIO buffer sizes 256-sample and above, you'll be just fine with most.

If you're wanting to effectively work at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size or lower, the answer is none.

Any suggestions for a laptop in the $500 or less range. just looking for something that will handle some live tracking. perfunctory searches show that some i5s are out there
