The LiveBook Studio Mobile Audio Workstation from Rain Recording is a powerful notebook workstation, designed with audio production in mind. Powered by a quad-core Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, the system has been fine-tuned by Rain for enhanced performance when working with digital audio.

Despite its high-performance CPU, the system runs quiet and cool thanks to Rain's appropriately named Quiet Cool Design. It features a powerful nVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M GPU with 1GB of memory, which drives a 15.4" widescreen display with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. You'll be able to connect audio peripherals and external storage via USB 2.0, eSATA, or FireWire-400, and output to an external display via HDMI or VGA.

The computer's features are rounded out by Rain's StormDrive DVD burner, an integrated 2MP webcam, and a 4-in-1 memory card reader. The computer features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless communication. It is loaded with the 32-bit edition of Windows 7 Professional, fine-tuned by Rain to for use in audio and video production environments.
