I think I'm about to ditch the laptop as well. The older I get the less I care about leaving the house for gigs and frankly at this point who am I kidding? The laptop I bought for gigging or occasional visits to friends for a jam has left my home a total zero times. Now my general use/surfing laptop is DEAD. I'm thinking that rather than replace it the money would be better spent on replacing my music laptop with a desktop and relegating the old music laptop for general use. I'm just thinking of getting the best HP desktop I can afford (which is probably only around $600) as a bunch of my friends basically said, "10 years ago build saved you money and hassle. Now it just buys you pain." This is a guy who's a high level IT guy too. But your touchscreen micro axt... that sounds juicy. Can you tell more about it? I can't seem to find much info on DYI touch screens and from what I can tell getting the HP with it built in doubles the price.
