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?

    Yeah I mean, I know apple makes great computers, I have a hard time getting passed their business model of planned obsolescence, forcing you into their ecosystem, and of course, the price. After 15+ years of Linux on my computer, and and FOSS phone, its hard to go back. I recently got and iPad and can’t evenmoves files onto it with a USB cable.

    Framework looks cool and will pair nicely with my fairphone :)

      I have to wait until my X220 dies of old age but the good part is I dont need it for musicproduction so no pressure on him.
