Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools
I decided to go with my original Lenovo P50 laptop.
I found a screaming deal on it and liked the form fact better than the Sager laptops, which also had some mixed reviews online. For under $1,500, with free shipping; I got the i7-6820HQ CPU, 256GB SSD, 16GB of RAM, and the NVidia Quadro M2000M 4GB, with the touch screen, which I didn't really care about but I guess is neat anyway. But it has 4 USB 3.0 ports and a Thunderbolt 3 port. All of these option priced out on the Lenovo website to almost $2,000. The Sagers that I was looking at were back ordered until the end of the month, and I didn't like their multi colored back lit keyboard. This Lenovo has just a white back light, which I prefer. Should be here Monday.

Let us know how it goes as I'm sure others would be curious about a Windows laptop and Pro Tools.

Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools
I have a Dell xps 15 9550. It's a very fast laptop with TB3 and USB 3. Touchscreen 4k and it's very small. I have run 5.1 2 hour sessions on it with 150 tracks, avid hd native thunderbolt. Very nice system.

Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools
Gladded you piped in. I am looking around for another laptop for work purposes (need it more compact) but having it PT capable is nice. I knew you had got a Dell, but could not remember the model.

Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools

Fwiw I just found out about their precision 7510 laptops. Found a refurb one on eBay with an i7-6920hq processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, tb3, and USB 3.0. For less than $1200. Should give my 12-core Mac Pro a run for the money. I've been wanting something portable. But didn't want to give up too much power. Hope this fits the bill.

Please report on the performance comparison with your MP.

Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools
Will do. It's been a while since I set up windows for audio. So it might take a bit to get it running its best. And I may try hackintoshing it. I've done that a time or two. I'll def report back. Fwiw my MP scored just under 18k multi thread in GB4. Around 2500 single thread. The scores I've seen for the i7-6920hq are around 4000 and 14000. So it should be interesting.

Re: Current top of the line Windows Laptop for Protools
I just got a tracking update. My laptop is in Tulsa, on the Truck for delivery...on Monday. I tried to get them to let me pick it up at the FedEx depot but it's a no go. Have to wait until Monday.
It'll take me a few weeks to get it all set up and tested, especially since I have to finish a symphony mix next week. Going to be hard to force myself to sit down and get some real work done rather than playing with my new computer.
