Dolphin Music have built a 15" Laptop designed with Audio in mind. We believe that the Intel P4 has been tried and tested and is still the safest option to use for making music. We like the new P4 Mobile due to the long battery life and the way in which we can optimise the processor to allow for maximum power to be dedicated to recording audio rather than other functions that you might find most laptops tend to do.
