[PD] Laptop + interface suggestion

Dear list,

I'm looking to buy new laptop and a matching audio interface for daily use

• audio performance/programming (not video). I would be interested to know

what are the current trends nowadays, and what experiences you have.

My current setup is:

• windows 10 (won't change)
• Lenovo X61s (I'm a bit of a fanboy for ibm/lenovo)
• RME multiface (still with pcmcia card)

I would be looking for a similar setup:

• a robust laptop where to run w10. The less weight the better, even if it

sacrifices some performance.

• which audio interfaces are used nowadays, compared with the multiface?

E.g. with at least 8 analog outlets (I don't need that many inlets), and also a digital outlet. Also the less weight and size the better - a half-case size such as the multiface is quite convenient.

• the computer will be used for day-to-day activities: office, notation

(sibelius/finale), and Pd audio programming. No games or too taxing environments, so some features such as a high-power graphics card or the latest ssd disk should be necessary.

Best regards,

Joao
