and one of these

so I can serf the net at work, and in bed, but...

I was thinking of...
can I use a earlier version of cu base and just use this as a portable 4 track? just to get my ideas down on the move?.

I could always install XP on it if needs be, if an earlier version of cu base support high speed usb then if I run it at a lower sample rate then I can't see why it shouldn't work?

any ideas?

Problems with latency and installation, IIRC.

The laptop should be fine, with an external drive of course.

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just purchase a 4 track?

Check out the Presonus FireBox or even the Inspire 1394 instead

Check out the Presonus FireBox or even the Inspire 1394 instead of the M-Audio Fast Track USB. The Presonus is IEEE1394/Firewire. Not only is Firewire more stable, it sounds better than USB for music recording. And the Presonus usually comes with Cubase LE, which is fine for your purposes.
