    Ouch. My backup lappy is a 5 year old HP dv2000 (with an Nvidia 6150) running Vista that is unstoppable.

    part of the selling point for me tho was it was one of the only laptops i could find with an nvidia graphics card compatible with the cuda/mercury hardware rendering engine for adobe's premiere pro cs5.

    the mac's were one of the only brands with nvidia's period in retail chains that i could find. everyhting is either intel hd or ati.

    i doubt i'll ever go back to a pc manufacturer for my laptops.

    i've had dell inspiron's and a HP dv6 in the past. the HP felt like i was going to break it from day one. flimsy keys.. crappy plastic shell. the dells were like tanks - but horrendous unless plugged into the wall. they all died tho eventually (all had a lifespan of less than 2 years)
    my hp dv9000 has lasted me three and a half years so far, i bought it used from a cop


    BTW i really like the PC rack idea.

    Guys, this is not a about laptops!!!
    I think its totally unneeded to have like double of same setup.
    U would go for one laptop with traktor + a controller, one laptop for ableton + a suitable controller(s) and a nice 4 channel mixer to get all of that together.

    Also, DELL for Life!!!!! :P

    P.S. Keep the desktop man, always good to have something that will be a workhorse.

    If anything sell the desktop and put it towards a sound system or something like that, but not a second laptop... Or even laptop upgrades. O.o
