New Laptop Suggestion

Hi Guys,

I recently had my old laptop die and it is much cheaper to buy a new one than try to resurrect the old one. Does anyone have any suggestions for a new one? I primarily use it with a single universe usb widget and with one wing, to do lighting for corporate shows. So the are not very intense shows, a couple of color blast 12's, some mac 250's and some conventionals.

All the new laptops now are coming with Windows 7 64 bit. So im kind of stuck. I know from reading here that support for 64 bit for usb devices are not here yet. But is it possiable to use Windows 7's, Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC, available on Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate. It allow you to run multiple Windows environments, such as Windows XP Mode, from your Windows 7 desktop. And it will use windows xp usb drivers. So can anyone tell me if this will work at all?

  • I was just in the market for a new laptop. I was at fry's and they had a Leveno laptop that came dual boot. XP and windows 7. Well they came XP and Vista but came with the Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade. I ended up going with an HP but I don't have to worry about usb drivers. I know that wasn't really your question but just wanted to let you know.
