Hi

I know that one of the main probs with Laptops is that the slower 4200/5400rpm HD 
reduce the audio capabilities.
But...

Does this make any difference at all for using e.g Logic Platinum with a soft sampler 
such as the EXS24 or Kompakt with a few soft synths and plug ins - do they simply rely 
on the processor speed and Ram given that you wouldn't need the HD for audio tracks - 
cos if they do, then in theory a laptop shouldn't be any worse for music making than a 
desktop with the same spec but a faster 7200rpm hard drive.

How many tracks/polyphony could i expect?
I have been toying with the idea of a laptop again for music now that Dells etc are 
coming down in price for P4 2.6, 512mb mobiles with 60gig HD at under �1000.
Plus with Firewire, this allows me to use a fast hard drive anyway when at home and 
use an M-Audio firewire for audio in/out.

Are there any laptop users here to back up my thoughts.

Cheers
Dan
