The only thing I would disagree with Bill on is most internal cards not being up to task. Lenova IMO puts decent cards into their laptops. I use two laptops, but my main one is an old Fujitsu. Its had a few hardware upgrades (RAM, extra HD), but I use the internal card on it, and I’ve also used the internal card for recording vocals on a song I arranged for my neighbors kid. We did all vocals (lead/backup) using the internal card with no problems. Plus keep in mind the many 3rd party plugins (many free too), that let you clean up vocal tracks.
I’d suggest trying your Lenova’s internal card first for audio tracks. You may find it’s sufficient for your needs.
Oh., MixCraft has a nice trial demo too. There are some other free DAWS out there too. One I found very easy to use is one called Tracktion T7. Very straight forward and everything is essentially handled from the main GUI. My primaries are MixCraft and Cakewalk, but I also have Ableton and Tracktion T7, and Reason Lite (M-Audio Edition). Out of all those I still think MixCraft is the easiest to use with Tracktion T7 almost a tie with MixCraft.
