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?

    Hello,
    Your question does not have a "universal" answer I am afraid, and this is the likely reason why nobody replied yet.
    The hardware is not the only one to have an impact on the performance... and it also differs on the CPU implementation.
    ARM is like an architect: we do the plans, but then it depends on how the builders did the job ;)

    Some quick web browsing suggests that the product would be based on NuSmart 2816 System on Chip, a dual ARM Cortex-A9.
    The ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore is more than able to handle audio editing. But it also depends on the software you use and if the software uses the A9 properly.
    Maximum performance will be obtained if your software use of the multimedia engines and this we cannot tell you like this...

    Kindly, Alban
