The best one you posted a link to is the Lenovo.

But honestly, what you should look for is the load you are looking to put on your laptop and how the laptop can handle it. I produce music as well but I use 2 desktop rigs. One houses an i7 processor and the other a Quad-core processor.

On the i7, I let the pc do everything from housing the music files to plugging in my keyboards, mics and all external equipment. On the Quad-core, I back up everything to an external HD because it lessens the load on the system, but I have a pretty nice Emu card on that one that allows for multiple inputs.

I would also suggest looking for a 7200 RPM HD for your music files. You can access them a bit quicker and load times aren't as long.

Happy finding!
