I got my Lenovo w520 and finished installing all my software.
Reaper, Komplete 8 and various Toontrack drum software.

With still all the Lenovo "bonus" software crap on the machine and probably running, wifi on, it has no noticeable latency recording guitar into Guitar Rig 5 and no drop outs or crackles at all.
The only thing I have changed so far was changing from "Energy Saver" to "Performance" mode in Power options.
So once I clean out all the Lenovo "bonus" software, turn off Wifi and do some minor optimizing for DAW usage, I should have way more horse power than needed
