I recently became a laptop an desktop person. I work in Finale on the desktop, because it has the MIDI setup and much better speakers. That said, a couple of weekends ago on two airplane flights, I input a piece on the laptop (using Speedy). The laptop speakers are not good enough for aural proofreading (not loud enough and not enough clarity to distinguish the voices). For my non-Finale other work, I use the laptop, mostly because it's a faster machine. If I were to switch to a laptop-only setup, I'd need a docking station at home and portable mouse for carrying with me. I don't know what I'd do about MIDI, though, or whether or not most docking stations have speaker connections. -- David W.
