Hi Per, Thanks for the link. I've done a little reading about the Pentium M as well, on some of the computer hardware sites. You can get a Pentium M motherboard that would fit a rackmount case. In theory this would be more "road worthy" than a laptop. My configuration used a Penitum 4 motherboard, because I already have one, but you're right the Pentium M would be a better choice. It would be cooler and quieter as well. Buying an off-the-shelf notebook makes a lot of sense. But as the "virtual instruments" article pointed out, a rackmount computer has some advantages. I don't know why, but the idea of a rackmount with a touchscreen just seems "cool."
