    the windows 7(basically vista rating) is so outdated. that why everybody gets high ratings.
    dont know why Micro$oft isnt updating that rating - maybe because nobody is using it.
    it tells you nothing.
    the only thing im trusting are those benchmarks.

    Well, I've been recording at 96000 with latency at 64, which was unimaginable on my old one, so I'm happy :thumbsup:

    I had The Atari 1040STE. Two of them.
    MIDI Clock was tight as my first girlfriend. Good times.

    Nice Atari,
    The ST's low cost, built-in MIDI ports, and fast, low-latency response times made it a favorite with musicians:
    Highly acclaimed electronic music artist Luke Vibert started out writing music on Atari STs.
    Awesome!

    Pulled out the os HDD, put in a 256 SSD with windows 7, and put in the extra 4g of ram, for 16 total. Runs sweet! If you're looking for a laptop for audio production and performance, I can highly recommend this thing
