Best Laptop to use with sonar for recording and live performances

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know what are some of the best pc laptops to use with sonar for recording, live performances and such? I also wanted to use it for doing dj work  as well but did not want to go the route of the MAC because I want to stick with sonar.
Thanks

    I use two MacBook Pros - One running Windows 7 64 bit and the other running XP 32 bit - Both running Sonar perfectly


    Just last evening I did a two hour all Bach orchestral recording, all went well.

    Edit:  HERE is a view of the MBP's in action.

    At the top of the page under support theres computers, and they mention HP dv7, maybe not the best for super serious, but depending on what you're doing. If it is just dedicated for DAW, then you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on one. I've been using a dv6 from last year from Wal-Mart. I don't do massive projects but you would be surprised, I also use it as my everyday laptop, get enough RAM, a decent processor, and you'll be on your way. Just a stinky opinion from me, but ya dont have to spend 1500-2000 dollars on a laptop. Get a couple external drives to take even less strain of the puter, and away ya go. Good luck!

    HP Pavilion dv6 Intel Duo Core 2 2.20GHz T6600, Windows 7 x 64, Guitar tracks Pro 4, SonarX1dEXP,SonarX2Prod. 8.5.3, Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, JBL monitors, Alesis SR-16, Guitar Rig 4 Pro, PRS SE, Epiphone Les Paul Custom, Cort SJ-10 ,Steven Slate 3.5, Akai MPK25, Glyph GT 050Q (500GB)RP1000http://soundcloud.com/mar...ayin-around-mix1

    I've had good lucks with HP laptops. I currently use a dv6 with an external HD and extra monitor. I use the set up everyday all day with no issues.
