Thank you Bill
I have a Presonus Audiobox that provides great audio even from my netbook. I have a Dell Latitude D620. What is suggested besides a 7200 HD.

I just read about a Kontakt 4 player but haven't checked it out. I guess the bottom line is whether an investment in a laptop for VST's is at all prudent, however, if I knew what to get, it would be better than an outdated Receptor(2006) that I can't use.

I am not putting anymore money into the Receptor. I don't mind taking a laptop, and it is more versitile.
