I am looking to upgrade my computer, and have been thinking about getting a laptop to replace my aging desktop. Anyone have any experience with recording on laptops? I am looking to be able to record 10 or more tracks simultaneous, but I'm not too worried about loading up on plugins or virtual instruments. Also, I am probably going to stick w/ PC. Will a 1 gig P3 be able to hold up?

I'm a mobile type man myself...i appreciate the benefits of being able to afford a way in which i can master and mix on the move. Okay, so what's the best laptop out there that'll alow me to do this? Sony Vaio? And what extra hardware would i need to midi my equipment and mic?
Yall are so much help!

Is anybody using Logic Audio on a laptop. If so is it PC or Mac and what performance (how many tracks or EXS24 channels) are you getting ?

Does anyone have an opinion as to which is a reasonable Audio chip inbuilt into a Laptop ?

I want to monitor WA vs etc on cans strait out of the Laptop without an additional USB box PC card
etc.

I've seen Yamaha, ESS, and Crystal in various specs.
I know the inbuilt chips are all a bit dodgy but which is the best of the bunch in your view ?

Here's the drill,

I bought a couple of Palm handheld computer / organizers for me and the engineer at the studio. Idea being, fast updatable (syncronises with base computer(s) ) studio diary at all times, (even remote internet updating is possible)
