Audio editing with ARM cpu

Hello! I'm not a ARM expert but I'm really into ARM devices. Nowdays I mainly make music on my computer and I have to move around with my equipment to record stuff (singing, instruments, atmospheric etc..) and at-place-composing, making beats. I totally need a laptop for it. I'm already familiar with linux audio editing software, thanks to ubuntu-studio. Since Ubuntu/Debian is working so well on ARM I've been planning to buy the Nufront Newton laptop, with 2,0 GHz dual-core cpu. I know that some things are faster with ARM than x86, but does anyone know how well ARM manages with audio editing?

    Hi Alban!

    It was not my meaning to dis Toshiba AC100 in any way. It's just that because ARM is coming in to computers in such a rush that it's very difficult to decide when to buy and which device. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. AC100 was the first considerable ARM laptop/notebook in the market that i know. 1 GHz dual-core was really astonishing news and that would have been enough for me, but I was quite skeptical about the 512 MB of ram. They say at nVidia that they are going to take huge leaps at performance in couple of years. Maybe there is some device waiting for me in the future :rolleyes:.

    If we look into performance/MHz or used Watts, ARM is so much ahead of intel, AMD and VIA. And talking about the price! Well I'm not even going into that :lol:. So I've decided to buy ARM computer. And if it works for me, I may never go back to x86 (I'm not a huge M$ fan..). And then waiting for devices to pop up with Cortex-A15 and Mali-T604. It's probably going to take a while, but It's worth waiting.
