I’m running Ubuntu Studio and Ardour on my aging HP laptop, and I’m considering getting something better.

When I bought the laptop I wasn’t doing anything with audio production and was on a tight budget. Now that I do more with audio (and a bit with video) I’d like something more powerful.

I travel a lot for my job so a laptop is much preferred. Any tips for good, midrange machines or specs I should look out for?

    Really? Touch screen on a laptop? Never knew that was a thing.

    I’ve been looking at bitwig and it looks quite nice. At this point, as a total beginner in digital audio, I feel like I have to pick something and run with it for a while. I’m learning to use Ardour and I think I will stick with it until I get comfortable with all the features of a DAW. My little HP is doing alright so far, even if its a bit slow, but I’d like to have something new before the end of the year.
