I got tuned off to the idea of buying a new Windows 10 laptop because of continued reports and uncertainties associated with DPC latency. So I decided to bite the bullet, play it safe (?) and buy a new MacBook Pro (either 13 or 15 inch) with Logic Pro X installed, also supported by Apple. I...

I think I have decided to bite the bullet, avoid the the plaguing DPC latency problems, complexities and uncertainties with Windows 10 laptops, and buy a MacBook Pro with Logic Pro, both supported by Apple Customer support.

I just got off the phone with Lenovo technical support and their rep said she does not recommend any Lenovo computers for music production. Can you believe it? The rep also said she never heard of DCP latency and thus she could not answer my numerous questions on that subject. I then asked...

ecc83, I'm not familiar with what you are referring to. Also, I live in the USA and I see you are in the UK. But I will ask Lenovo (or whoever I buy a laptop from) if they offer some sort of return guarantee if they cannot help me fix any DCP latency issues.

I did some more research and there are DPC issues reported with the new Dell XPS 15 7590 too. So I am still stuck. Are there no late 2019 mass produced Windows laptops which have solved their DPC latency problems (aside from the problems associated with external device drivers, etc.)? It’s...

Thanks Tadpui! Great information and apparently good news. I had my heart set on buying the new 7590 version of the XPS 15. According to that NotebookCheck link, the DPC problems of the 7570 should have been eliminated on the 7590. But I will do further research to find out if third parties...

I am planning to buy a new laptop (in December) for music production (Studio One Pro DAW). It needs to be a Windows 10 laptop and I will use it with a large external monitor. My music production needs and my technical expertise are very modest (mostly creating background tracks of cover tunes...

This is my first post. My music projects currently involve importing professional General MIDI tracks into my DAW to create realistic sounding 60s and 70s style classic rock background tracks for my solo performances (lots of cover tunes). The MIDI instrument sounds I have previewed with the...
