I hated to raise a red flag and then not be able to answer questions right away.
We are very busy getting ready for NAMM.

We received a laptop directly from Dell to use at NAMM.
It was a recommended laptop for music. Didn't work.
We talked with customer support they said no issues w/ FW audio,
and then we were sent to engineering. They had not tested the laptop
with FW audio or at least not mLAN. They confirmed that the FW controller
on the motherboard was not compatible. It was a TI chip BTW.
We gave up on Dell laptops. Apple was kind enough to provide them to us for the show.
No problems. The new driver for Leopard will be released next week. It uses apx HALF the CPU as the Tiger driver. It ROCKS !!

For the PC guys, In the past we used HP laptops, They are really good.
Not sure of the costs.


Hope this helps
