Can't help you there -- I seriously dislike laptops for scoring, and don't use them for any serious work. I have the big laptop running Linux, so no Finale there. Laptop screens are too small for scoring work. My little Dell netbook works great for special purposes and for keeping a diary when traveling. I actually used the netbook for my opera -- I couldn't afford to bring in a cimbalom player, so got a customized set of cimbalom samples from Bolder Sounds and ran it using Finale's Aria player driven from an external Kurzweil keyboard. I do like my customized desktop system with its big monitors and fast hard drives. (When I'm traveling, I pretty much switch to paper and pencil and enter the music when I get back home.)
