| Revision to my recommendations..
Things change fast in tech. Below are my new recommendations:
1. HP. They have changed their whole game up. I am sure you noticed the Dr. Dre ads. The boards are now grounded and the audio interfaces are night and day better than before. I still have my Lenovo but use my HP Elitebook more and more to produce. Fast, stable and clean.
2. Lenovo - I can tell the quality is starting to slip on the newer units. Plastic getting cheaper and the audio isn't the same. I would not consider a newer model for production.
3. Apple - Great hardware and clean if you have deep pockets and are going to run OS X. Don't run Windows in bootcamp on it. The driver support just isn't there. Apple has no interest in perfecting drivers for the machines.
If you want a dope machine, take a look at the HP ENVY's or HP Elitebooks. They are top quality equipment with a focus on audio now. Lenovo is starting to slip. Would make sure what you are getting into if you consider them now.
Toshiba, Sony, etc are mid market laptops and I would stay away from them. HP is the big dog in the audio game now on the PC side.
