Hi folks!
I'm currently working on a Liveact, and it's going well (you can listen to some stuff here: http://www.myspace.com/djhuman )..
What I still need though is a notebook.. 
I have seen one from Toshiba, which seems to be good, but I heard their core 2 duo has some sort of problems with the fan and causes glitches regularly (which would be very unpleasant during a liveact..).
The one I've seen is a "Centrino Duo", so no core 2.. Is that reliable? It's called " Toshiba Satellite A100-779, Core Duo T2050, 15.4 WXGA, 2GB"
I couldn't find this particular one on their website, so here's the description from the store:
Intel Centrino Duo Mobiltechnology with Intel Core Duo Processor T2050 (1.66GHz), 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
Mobile Intel 945PM Express
15.4", TruBrite
WXGA (1280 x 800)
2x 1024MB DDR2, max. 4GB, 2 Slots available
100GB S-ATA, 5400rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 with 128MB VRAM (up to 256MB Hypermemory)
DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) Drive
WLAN 802.11, 10/100 LAN, Modem, Bluetooth
4x USB 2.0, Firewire, TV-Out (S-Video), VGA, Audio, RJ-11, RJ-45, 1x PC-Card Typ II
Multimedia Bar with 6 Easy Keys (Internet Browser, Rewind, Play, Stop, Forward, Express Media Player for instant-on entertainment)
Li-Ionen Akku
Best regards,
Human

Just a word of advice, if you can afford it get a core 2 duo (make sure its core 2 duo & not core duo) 2.0 GHZ processor with 4MB L2 Cache & a 633MHz FSB..
This coupled with 1GB ram & a 7200rpm hard disk will be powerful enough for all your live & studio needs..
As far as manufacturers go personally i've used pretty much all generation Dell laptops (since Pentium III days) & never really had a problem with any of them..

I've got a friend with a double processor, dont know if its core duo or core 2 duo, with 3 fans and the problem is the pc gets too hot and automaticly shuts down. that would be even more unpleasent. but you solve this problem by lifting up your pc a little so fresh air can blow in.

I've used mine for 8 hours straight at parties without any problems..I guess knocz is talking about a desktop?
The old pentium 4 processors used to get heated up but the core 2 duo's are really quiet and efficient..
As for your question about the ram..That will come in handy if you're using sample based instruments like stylus, atmosphere etc..Minimum 1 GB should be enough if you can afford it go for 2 GB..
The processor you pointed out (T7200) is the one to get..
