I bought a MOTU Ultralite AVB with my Asus n550jv with a
double boot W10/ubuntu. The ultralite avb is awesome. USB2,
Class-compliant, adat i/o, internal mixer, EQ, gates,
compressors, aux, routing, presets everywhere. Audio over IP
if you're keen to in motu's avb stuff and/or newer macs. Oh,
and the whole interface is osc-controllable. I love it.<br>

If I were in your situation, I’d stick with a Thinkpad.
They are expensive, but IMHO worth the price as they are
rugged, reliable, and repairable. In general, Linux
distress run well on their hardware. Another good option
is a Panasonic Toughbook which are admittedly bulkier and
expensive but you can get one with a built-in handle so
you look like you work for the CIA/NSA and use it as a
blunt-force protection device (I’m sure Katja knows).

<div class="">Examples of both can be found used with
decent prices (US vendor, but gives you an idea of
institutional refurbished market):</div>

<div class="">As for audio interfaces, I agree with
those that say stick with a USB-compliant device. I am
still using aRoland UA-25 which is from mid-2000s and
is USB 1.0 compliant. It works full stereo duplex with
everything, included iOS, without drivers etc. In
fact, I bought a UA-25ex used for $100 as a backup a
coulee years ago.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Fancy stuff like MOTUs are really *nice*
but far too reliant on proprietary drivers. I believe
USB 2.0 should have enough bandwidth for 8 channel
output. Unlike Firewire, we can be pretty sure USB
will be supported for the foreseeable future, albeit
through probably 10 different dongles/adapters. Plus,
you’ll know if you want to work with other Ohs in the
future, the device will probably keep working.</div>
