When you use Pro tools on laptop you'll still need two drives one for the operating system and samples you may use ,the other would need to be specifically for recording audio to.The ext drive will need to be a 7200rpm drive . Min of 8gb memory if you have any FireWire devices you'll need a Texas Instruments chipset FireWire Card . Windows 10 is coming soon . That will hopefully give audio on laptops a big boost.

The other option you have , is buying a secondhand 2012 i7 MacBook Pro . That way you can use as mac and run windows too, on same machine. Just choose which operating ststem on the boot up screen. That's what I do .
P.s some notebooks can take two drives internally if so again just make sure the audio or drive you record to is 7200 rpm or you might be lucky and get away with using An SSD drive for audio work.
