I'm thinking of purchasing a laptop to be used in conjunction with either my Tyros or Motif Classic or both. Of coarse I am on a limited budget (must cost less than a divorce) (actually $500-600)

What I would actually like to do is put vocal backgrounds with midi's for live application(s). (I do this now with the Motif, but the Ram limits it to about 7 mins.) In conjunction with this I would like to create a backup system in case my Tyros and or my Motif go down. And of coarse have MP3 to play for breaks.

I would appreciate any comments you may have in regards to this and if you have a better plan than a laptop I am very open to suggestions.

I'm sure many of you have already gone thru this process and I have no desire to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks in advance for your help
