Lots of the Lenovo models were popular with audio professionals. My older XPS is pretty good now but it took Dell over a year to work out some terrible firmware. For example, Dell seems to have abandoned their efforts to fix DPC latency issues of the flagship XPS laptops for audio professionals (XPS group head Frank Azor left for nVidia). Plenty of laptops with garbage firmware. On the other hand you can buy a high spec Windoze laptop for a lot less money.

Still Apples to Apples, MacOS runs well in the real world as Apple has just a handful of computers to test-support. Apple runs hidden buffers so the performance is a bit overstated. There were some audio issues ascribed to the T2 chip. Not sure if they were resolved as my 2007 model does not run Catalina. There were some issues with OS Catalina. But I would wait a bit to make sure there are no glaring defects in any model. The new 16" models have a completely new keyboard so that is the model to choose (until the revised keyboard is deployed to other models). They have high failure rates and are difficult (read expensive) to repair. I would avoid the terrible butterfly keyboards that have been used for the past few years in macbooks.

Most external interfaces outsource the software to the same shops.įor computers, Apple tends to be a bit quite popular for audio professionals and hobbyists, but there are some caveats IMO
#Cfx manager mac drivers
Perhaps the biggest factor is running good drivers for the audio interface. Search the forums for some free tweaks on Garritan CFX as those may be as (or more) effective than wasting money on new equipment. Garritan CFX has a few glitches, so you may never get 100% dropout-free playback with any computer.
