Default Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools

Holy crap this computer has some horse power!

Got most of my most used plugs-ins installed. Loaded up this symphony mix that I am working on. Running this session at a 64 buffer. I have never in my life been able to run Protools at a 64 buffer without getting glitches and CPU errors. Have disk cache set to 8GB and this computer just chews it up.

I haven't even finished optimizing it yet per Avid and Weeds's guides. Just disabled SpeedStep and the CPU power saving etc. in the BIOS.

I even loaded up a jazz big band session I have been working on with 28 tracks and 4 separate reverb units. Not a single hiccup. Running both session from my external USB3 7200rpm spinner.

I EVEN loaded up two separate Sketchup models, one a 71MB jazz club and a recording studio design that I am working on. Ran both Sketchup Windows and Protools flawlessly--at the SAME TIME! Both applications were just as responsive as could be, no lag or stuttering from any of them.

Windows reports total CPU utilization between 26-30%, and 12GB of RAM in use.
