Re: [LAU] a question on Lenovo laptop

mmm....ok.

so, this automatically leads to this very famous question here:
which external card will be compatible (means working out of box) with the
type of Lenovo laptop I want to buy. (it's not thinkpad series. it's G
series G580, G780...etc.)
and as I'll already spend 700-900 euros on new lap top, the cheapest option
will be better.

I need one mic input and a stereo output. (although more outputs can be
always welcome, if it doesn't double up the price)
I don't need super hyper fantastic quality. just 'normal'.
cheap and work out of box with the most recent laptop + ubuntu set up would
be more important than quality...
but one good bonus will be headphone amp + on board headphone volume
control. I spend a lot of time with my Beyerdynamic DT-770.

and the reason why I insist on Lenovo models is simply I never had any
other brand...before my first PC laptop, I was brainwashed by mac. so I
have no idea about general PC stuff.
so plz don't hesitate if you can recommend a decent laptop from other brand.

thanks!
