Hi,
I'm considering to "upgrade" my old thinkpad R51, with something lighter
and with more power. Since I need a laptop with a pcmcia slot for my
multiface, no new models can be bought.
I was thinking of a Thinkpad X61, as it's quite light and comes with a
dual-core processor. But since I'm biased to thinkpads and don't know much
more, does anyone has another suggestion?
The uses of the laptop would be for Pd, work with sound files in general.
The systems to be installed would be Windows7 and Ubuntu.
Best,
João
About 18 months ago I bought an x61s (slightly less powerful but runs cooler) with a base station. It's great. Mine came with w7 from previous owner and I put Puredyne on it. All worked straight from install and has been rock solid. Light too.
Cheers,
Julian

It does perfectly with Ubuntu Studio 10.04 LTS running on an "old" Dell Latitude.

I never got to use ubuntu that much (never performing), because it just
takes too much effort to setup the system until it really works without
having to go to forums and ask for stuff.
but I did notice that it installed very easily, with no problems I could
use jack+pd with the rme. For more details, I think there are other people
in the list that have used it more extensively.

the card works on debian (and i assume any other distribution past 2003 or so) as well :-)
