Topic: Babyface PRO - Looking for new laptop
Hi all,
after many years with HDSPe ExpressCard + Multiface i've just bought a Babyface PRO.
First thing i noticed is that on my laptop (HP EliteBook 8560w with an i7-2670QM) HDSPe perform glitch free at 64 buffer both on Reaper and Live 10.
Babyface PRO at 64 samples ASIO buffer perform glitch-free on Reaper but with frequent glitches on Live 10 using the most demanding VST (u-he stuff, MadronaLabs stuff etc.).
After some tweaking on the USB3 and USB2 (M.S.I. stuff on USB3, disabling IRQ sharing stuff on USB2) things on Live 10 improve a little but not so much.
So i'm out for a new laptop and i've seen this.

It's based on Clevo P751TM1-G.
I ask their support if the USB 3 ports are on different busses and they told me that USB3 bus is only one and that share the bus with other stuff internally.
So i wonder if RME or some of Babyface PRO users here have some hints or suggestions.
thanks!
