PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Extreme mobile power
The new LiveBook Diablo by Rain Recording puts the power and versatility of a desktop computer in a sleek mobile audio notebook. Designed around the cutting edge Intel Core 2 Extreme desktop processor, Diablo uses a new quad-fan cooling system to efficiently draw heat away from it's internal components preventing distortion and audio-engine seizure. The result is pure Quiet Cool operation that maximizes your track-count, plug-ins and virtual instruments in a way you'd only expect from a desktop computer. This is the new generation of mobile audio.
Designed for digital audio
Whether you're plugging into an audio interface or recording straight to an external drive, USB 2.0, eSATA and two separate FireWire chipsets give you the kind of lightning fast data-transfer necessary for professional digital audio production. The internal hard drive is a 7200RPM SATA-300 with a 32MB buffer - perfect for direct to drive recording and instant access to your virtual instrument library. And Rain LiveBooks are tested for compatibility with industry standard digital audio software/hardware and setup so all you have to do is plug it in and start working.
Devil in the details.
Sleek curves give way to a beautiful 15.4 in. widescreen display and Intel's most powerful dual-core desktop processor, the Core 2 Extreme. A biometric fingerprint scanner provides added security on the road.
A Lot of ins and outs.
Diablo is packed with ports giving you multiple options for super fast data transfer, communication, and integration with 3rd party audio hardware whether you're in the studio or on the road.
