Typical off-the-shelf laptops don't make good DAWs.
A laptop that's anywhere close to the speed of a well-configured tower starts at ~$2k (as KiteCrazy1 mentioned).
Unless you absolutely must have a laptop, I'd encourage you to get a tower. You'll get FAR more bang-for-the-buck.
Off-the-shelf machines typically have motherboards with "dumbed down" BIOS.
Certain parameters that allow super low/consistent DPC Latency are not exposed.
This is done to prevent less tech-savvy users from fouling up their machine.
In this scenario, there's no way to achieve the low/consistent DPC Latency of a quality motherboard.
If you're wanting to run heavy loads at the smallest ASIO buffer sizes, it's critical to have low/consistent DPC Latency.
Off-the-shelf machines are built for general-purpose users (Office, Facebook, YouTube, Email, etc).
This user will never notice a 2ms hiccup in data-flow.
For the person running a heavy load at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size, that's a drop-out.
For high-performance scenarios, you're best off with a custom machine where each component is chosen for maximum performance and minimal noise.
