Hello all,
I am considering getting a new setup. I don't need to work from the road all the time but sometimes. So I definitely need a laptop. I considered a Thinkpad X1 Extreme, but I can get the P52 considerably cheaper, and I like the numeric keypad (and the hopefully better thermals). It's heavier though. But I am not constantly on the road, so that would be ok-ish.
1. Any experiences with the P52 for audio use (cubase is my DAW, doing mostly film scoring)? What about DPC latency?
2. Would you recommend using a laptop as main machine and expanding it via VEP-slave for larger projects?
The other option would be going with a lower spec'ed laptop like X1 Carbon or one of the T Series (it doesn't have to be a Thinkpad, but I heard good things about them in general), and at the same time getting a powerful main rig for the studio.
But I like the idea of having one single machine (and the idea of not spending money on two devices at the same time).
Thanks for your insights!
