I would say you are wrong arrowhead. cause you can get USB2.0 and pcmcia cards that are awesome for recording. I have a lyla echo 24 which has 24 inputs and outputs. all 1/4" and the card/box can sample at 32bit 96khz better than DAT.

Yep. But you don't have removable storage. I can pop out and exchange hard drives at the click of a couple buttons on my case. Music files are enourmous, you might be able to get a dvd burner, but even at 4 gig a whack that's shit. I can fill a 80 gig hard drive in about a month, if I'm recording a lot.

Also, with laptops you're extremely limited as far as what you can connect. For example, your soundcard can also be picked up as a pci for a desktop. There's just LESS room for expansion.

Also, with a laptop additional storage becomes neccesary, and expensive. Even a 120gig HD fills up pretty quick. My DFH2 samples alone take up 8gig. The Drumkit From Hell Superior samples take up 35GIG! My audio app folder right now rings in at about 80gig.

By the way, those layla's are crap. If you're going to be getting something new, I'd really reccomend the firepod, or the aardvark q-10. Both in the $500-700 range.
