Thanks for all your suggestions. In fact I want to buy a new notebook, I see Lenovo is another good choice. I was searching in the website for models and the thinkpad looks fine. The new modelsw include a MD Port compatible with apple hardware, but I'm not sure how useful could it be. Definitively

I recently purchased on old Compaq Presario F700 for $40. While it is supposedly limited to 2G of memory and !50G HD it seems to be running UbuntuStudio 13.10 nicely with 4g of memory and is quite fast with a 240Gssd ($200 for both upgrades). Use this for a keyboard and various Guitar/Mic configura
