hi Barbara, don't know if you are UK or USA based, or your budget?

British audio specialist magazine "Sound on Sound" recently published
a positive in-depth review for a high-end audio laptop from this company:

"Scan Computers have teamed up with American system builders ADK to provide a range of PCs designed specifically for working with audio. The new models come with either 15- or 17-inch screens, and can be customised to suit your needs and price point.

The basic components, Scan say, have been chosen for their reliability and performance, with all-in-one I/O chips being eschewed in favour separate WiFi and Firewire solutions, the latter coming from trusted manufacturers Texas Instruments. Pricing for the new range starts at under £1000 for the basic 15-inch model, with an Intel i5 520M Mobile CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 320GB hard drive, while the top-of-the-range 17-inch laptop has a Core i7 720QM processor, up to 8GB RAM and can be loaded with a 500GB hard drive."


"It's always been tricky to find a laptop computer that can be guaranteed to work well with a wide variety of audio interfaces, but since Core i5/i7-based machines have appeared it's become a nightmare. Compatibility with Firewire audio interfaces hit an all-time low when Texas Instrument Firewire controller chips were abandoned on modern laptop motherboards, while arcana such as CPU throttling schemes, graphic drivers and limited BIOS options for the power-saving 'C-states' have all resulted in music forums awash with reports of unresolvable audio drop-outs, glitching, intermittent connections and the like — even with USB interfaces.
I know several professional DAW builders who have spent weeks researching and abandoning one laptop model after another in their quest to find one offering reliable, low-latency audio. So kudos to Scan 3XS for not attempting to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they have based the spec of their new range around a couple of well-researched and tested solutions already available in the US from ADK Pro Audio..."

Checking out their website may at least give some idea of current pro level tech specs and prices,
to compare against run of the mill high street shop retail laptops.
