New laptop for making music

[favox]

I have an old laptop from 2014 and It's getting short for recording vocals and mixing projects so I'm looking into the Asus zenbook 14 OLED with 16gb ram and 512 SSD. with the new Intel core ultra 7 155h. I saw that It has 10 eficiency cores and 6 performance cores I don't know It that is an issue as in macbook Ableton only can use performance cores not eficiency cores but I don't know in Windows also seing the core ultra 7 155h just below the m3 pro gives me good indicator that It will serve me just right https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-list/cinebench-scores (119 and 120 in the list) and also I'm looking into design I don't if It will work for making visuals and visualizers for my music. Overall I don't know if there is a down side with this laptop I heard that for music production you don't need a gpu so I'm not going for gamer laptops but I don't know in experience if that is a thing I will really apreciate a wise advice

Hi, I have had some current experience with PC issues & long time user or Live.
Live doesn't use efficiency cores. viewtopic.php?t=249583
I recently upgraded to a pretty high end pc-i9-14900HX 2.20GHz when Live 12 didn't support older Gen Intel Processors-See post- viewtopic.php?t=249583
Initially, it ran very poorly until I addressed the parked cores issue. Once I tweaked my CPU and stopped my P cores from parking, most of my stuttering issues disappeared.
Have a look around on reddit.com for some great advice. You could start here-

Process Lasso has been a great program to assist CPU management.

Many suggest Ryzen processors may handle Live better than Intel if you are looking at PC. That is up to you to decide of course.

Good luck

The laptop does not appear to be suitable for audio editing. The DPC latencies are the problem.
