Sound recording on laptop - Which soundcard?

Frag said:

Hi, I have a friend (fairly wealthy) who started a singing :erm:

Anyways, he's got a laptop, with no sound-input jacks.

So: He wants a USB sound-card or something to connect his #guitar and #microphone to so he can make some amateur recordings, any advice?

What's the options? I'm clueless on hardware other than for gaming purposes

Appreciated.

does the laptop have firewire? firewire is the best option for low-latency recording on a laptop. A good entry level product is the Presonus firebox.
I wouldn't recommend usb - specially if he want to record guitar and use real-time effects etc.
