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?

    Im well versed in computer repair. The main hard drive is dead,needs a new one. I recently replaced the power supply, and the video card built into the mother board is starting fail. It defiantly is not worth repairing for the cost vs buying a new one. I only want to use this for my hog anyway. I have my nice new macbook pro for everything else. And before anyone says it I can not run it via boot camp because it does not have the support for the widget and wing. Which also makes all the emulators useless too. Not to mention the money for buying windows is half the cost of a new pc laptop. So Im stuck.
