Laptop with decent built in soundcard

[T Kast]

Hey guys,

My main reason for getting a laptop for producing is for maximum portability. What I mean by this is that I want everything in one package. I don't want to have to carry around a midi keyboard or an audio interface. CPU and RAM isn't a huge problem since i3's are even quite alright and it's not hard at all to get at least 4gb of RAM in a system.

My biggest concern is the laptop's soundcard. This is my main reason I would get a Macbook Pro due to Macs having pretty decent standard soundcards. Testing a Macbook Pro out at the Apple store, I was getting 17.9 ms of latency under 256 samples which is not that bad. I had a pretty decent Sony Vaio that I just recently sold but the audio latency was horrible even while using ASIO4ALL. Sorry, I don't remember specifically the details of the latency but it was pretty difficult to analyze audio with such a high latency. Plus all of the annoyances of having high latency. And no I won't be doing serious recording while mobile unless I actually had my audio interface with me.

My question is what PC laptops have decent built in soundcards? Or is a Macbook Pro just the way to go for maximum portability and power?
