Hi
Partly due to the AVX2 issue, I am thinking of replacing my age-old but capable thinkpad x230. Checking by processors rather than laptop brands, I have found AMD Ryzen 5 5600U to do well. Not sure how this translates to Ableton though, so I would appreciate comments and suggestions. I am aware this is a u series meaning its less power hungry and thus weaker, but the cpu mark is 15400 vs my thinkpad's 2600 (!).
It does avx2, although not AVX-512 if it matters.
Here are some parameters

Is this is a good choice for A12?
Thanks.

Re: Ryzen 5 5600u for Ableton 12
It looks like a neewer version of My hp amd laptop so I guess It'll do the job since mine does It but I have to adress that I replace the hdd with an SSD and stills take about 1 minute to fully load Ableton to use and that can't manage to much processing power also know as I can't have múltiple vst at the same time and I sometimes export the proyect to mix It.
How is the price?
My laptop is a Hp envy m6 n113dx

Hi. Thanks for writing. I actually forgot about this thread. At some point I realized that anything less than ryzen 5 Pro would be questionably a step forward from my ThinkPad X 230. This has to do with the change in approach across the whole laptop market to balancing performance against battery life immediately after these series.
SSD is a must. it turned my girlfriends i3 HP with 8 GB RAM from drowsy to high-sped with 10 YouTube videos running at a time and the system loading at reasonable pace. Before this single change, Windows 10 would take endless minutes just to start.

. It's a hell of a d a w and will remain so for years, although I will welcome 12 or 13 as soon as I have upgraded my machine. No sooner probably than it burns.
Good luck with your music.
