I bought a laptop (sony vaio p4 2.6ghz 1gig of ram). I use it for
everything from circuit simulation to word processing to multitrack
recording. When I record it's pretty intense, i can do 8 tracks
simultaneously, and when i mix sometimes it's over 50 tracks with tons
of real time effects. I have separate external firewire hard drives,
and I have never had any problems.
I use samplitude with an RME multiface/cardbus, I run antivirus
software, and i maintain the machine regularly.

Rich is the man. The trick is not so much the laptop but the fact that
Samplitude plus RME Multiface is unbeatable. Just make sure your
CardBus controller is compatible (check the RME site).

However, if you are travelling internationally, please note that Sony
will not honour their warranty outside the region you bought the
laptop in. I guess they haven't clued in to what a laptop is for!

Check the fine print and confirm with the vendor.
