Laptop for protools

[SixtyWattMan]

I'm not a big fan of laptops so instead of taking a stab in the dark at hoping one I pick is quality and not a junker I will ask you guys. My dad needs a laptop that can run protools well. Budget is between $800-$1000 maybe a little over if it's worth it. Size doesn't matter, just need a high quality laptop that will run it well.

if you want quality look up lenovo thinkpads

You need horses to do audio. Don't skimp on the internals.

Also it's just going to be used with Protools LE with an Elevenrack. Mostly just concerned with getting one that isn't going to be a junker.
