Don't... No laptop makes a good field recorder really... You'll never find a laptop with a "Line In" audio port... and USB devices are sketchy at best. You're better off to get a good digital recorder. (Like a Zoom or something) Use that to collect your recordings, and your laptop to edit your pics and music. (Years ago, MAC led the way for music and graphic, but that is no longer necessarily the case, so MAC or PC is just a matter of personal taste) If it's a home recording studio you want, then get a new desktop PC and a REALLY good sound card.
