Non gaming laptop?

[icethepuck]

Anyone have any suggestions for a laptop which will see no gaming, min specs needed are:

-15" screen
-1080p resolution
-Core i5
-8 gigs ram
-750 GB hard drive

Going to be using the laptop to record guitar, sound card will be external so I really only need the ram and processor to be of quality.

HP Envy 15 or Sony VAIO SE.

There is pretty limited choice in 15" 1080p laptops.

Probably the new Macbook Pro/Air hybrid thing that's supposed to be coming out soon.

Thinkpad W520 is another option that meets your specs, though it may be more computer than you need.

Ultrabooks or xps15z

The new MBP/MBA is the big unknown here. Since you're using an external sound card, I guess you want to run Windows (I could be wrong. Are threre Mac drivers and software for that particular piece of hardware you're looking at?) - and in that case, I'd recommend the VAIO SE.

Even the cheapest configuration should be good enough for what you need.
