Topic: Great dilemma for new laptop DAW ( i have HDSP cardbus and Multiface )
Hi guys,
my old PC laptop ( centrino dotahn 2.0 ghz ) served me very well for almost 7 years!
i did a lot of live performances with my laptop and my Multiface + HDSP Hammerfall Cardbus.
44.100 and 64 samples buffer with not a single glitch for hundreds of gigs.
My laptop still works but i need to buy a new one very soon.
I'd like to invest on a new Laptop with a Pci express card port ( i'd buy the new 3/4 format Hamerfall and keep my Multiface for now).
This is because i'd like to avoid ( at least for now ) to invest in new usb stuff like the UFX.
And mainly because i am not confiant at all with the stability and glitch-free operations at very low latency ( 32 - 64 samples ) of the USB/Firewire bus on PC laptops ( and from what i've heard even on Mac PowerBooks ).
Have you any idea on good laptops with pci express ports?
I 've seen that ADK and Rainrecording daw laptops don't mount express card anymore.
Any help would be appreciated!
many thanks in advance
