My friend is looking for a laptop and his budget is 600 dollars. The primary use of the laptop is for recording/mixing and for live sets when he performs. He uses a lot of heavy-weight music programs. Any help?

I'm a big thinkpad fan. It's only 2GB ram, but it's DDR3 and it's fast.
Also, for 50$ more, there is this.

Which isn't a huge improvement besides more ram.
Also, the first one runs windows xp professional, and the second one has windows 7. so if you kept the os that each one has, the first one would outperform the second.
