PC Laptops and audio software/hardware do not go hand in hand. Understand that laptops are built for convenience, not power use for things such as audio. I am a PC guy, but the idea of using a PC laptop for audio is like going to a gunfight with a knife---no offense. Instead, buy a MacBook---install Parallels or BootCamp, WindowsXP and you're fine.

No disrespect to Brad but I've been running Sonar 7 on a Toshiba Qosmio F45 with the ultralite for months with no problems.
I even use the ultralite to run Amplitube Live in a live setting (with an FCB1010 foot pedal) and the Toshiba only has a four pin data firewire port.
I use the wall wart and running Vista 32 have managed to do some very nice recording with in mobile situations.
The Toshiba ran me $1200.00 back in sept. has 2 gigs of ram and a now worthless HD-DVD player...but I've has no problems in either live situations or limited recording, I probably would not try to do a lot of tracks unless I kicked the latency to the moon, but in live I'm running it at 5 ms latency and Amplitube sucks down about 60% of the cpu (doesn't seem to know theres more than one) and it still runs fine.
