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?

    Thank you for answering!

    I was afraid that there is not a simple answer for this. As NEON technology sounds really awesome, I'm just hoping that the upcoming Nusmart chip has it built-in. I have contacted Nufront few times about some details of the chip/board, but there haven't been any replies (at least after the 1st reply: "we'll let you know at end of december 2010"...). What I know, the chip is very high-end and It includes support for SATA2-port and replaceable ddr3 RAM so there's a good change that it includes also NEON extensions. It seems that from the software side, newer Ubuntu/debian supports NEON and that's great news.

    Thanks. You just brought my hopes up. And sorry my coarse tech-language. I'm Finnish!
