Mobile quad core audio

LiveBook Diablo is powered by an Intel Core 2 Quad processor Introducing LiveBook Diablo, the first ever quad core mobile audio workstation brought to you by Rain. LiveBook Diablo puts the power of next generation quad core processor technology at your fingertips. It's a mobile powerhouse capable of other-worldly feats of strength, the kind of computer that will laugh at the question, "can I fit one more guitar track on this song?" (Yes). Of course this kind of processing power would be pointless with nowhere for all those 1's and 0's to go. Good thing Diablo came to play. With up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, available RAID-0 audio streaming hard drive array and high-speed external data transfer via eSATA and FireWire, your data will do zero to sixty in a gazillionth of a nanosecond*.

*slight exaggeration.

Two to tango

LiveBook Diablo has a unique component system that comes in pairs. Two high performance hard drives or SSD gives you incredible storage and RAID-0 performance. Two FireWire chipsets provide maximum compatibility with your audio gear and two SODIMM slots give you room for 8GB of memory pushing 64-bit power for crazy plug-in performance. There are notebooks, there are mobile audio workstations, and then there's LiveBook Diablo. It's time to enter a whole new dimension of mobile audio.
