New laptop, who dis? (home recording)

[Dowi]

Hey fam,
my old laptop has been on a death ride for a while now so, when the time comes, i want to buy something decent for home recording.

I have read my fair share of spec lists and must-haves on the webz, but I am looking for real and practical advice from you experienced ILF techs & home-recording people.
I don't need much, just something that works without losing my mind with latency, and capable of running a couple simple plugins without overloading the system etc etc the usual stuff.

I use Ableton as DAW, on a laptop with Windows (don't even try to talk me into buying a MAC, not even a big mac fwiw ).
Right now i use a focusrite 2i2 audio interface but i want to upgrade it along the way, so that's not a relevent aspect.

That's it, thanks!

Shit is so fast its hard not to find a computer that will do what you need with recording - FWIT Hard Drive Storage and RAM are the two major things you want in a music production laptop. Epically if you are using a ton of plug-ins.

My needs are so simple that a Macbook Air, and basic storage and ram are plenty.
