So, my old netbook won't run Win 7 / 8 and is stuck on XP. With Microsoft ending support for XP it's as good a time as any to upgrade and get a decent modern LT.

Main use will be audio editing / production. I know nothing about newer laptops. Do any come with Thunderbolt for example?

No gaming, so graphics not a priority, but I guess good enough to play HD for occasional movie watching. Screen can also be small as I will hook up to a larger screen when working at home. So I assume a decent beefy CPU and lots of memory.

Budget probably £500 - £600 ish.
 
There's not much selection when it comes to Laptops on OCUK. It's all for gaming.

Check on other websites. Depending if the software you're using can use multiple Cores etc, I'd go for something with an I7.

Check out the Acer Aspire V7-581PG
15.6" LED Touchscreen Display
Intel Core i7 3537U 3.1GHz CPU
