Default Laptop Tracking Workstation Recommendations?

Anyone have any recommendations for a laptop that can handle 16 tracks of simultaneous tracking for on-the-go work? Thanks.

I'm more looking into a PC, or something a bit cheaper at least.

Look at Asus and HP laptops.

Look for a laptop that has a dedicated video processor, no integrated graphics. Intel Cpu and Intel Chipset. Windows 7 64 bit. Make sure it has a 30-60 day return in case it doesnt work for you.

I like ASUS and was looking into them, especially for their price. Are the Sandy Bridge processors behaving well with Pro Tools, or no?

Would it be a good idea possibly to get a Rain Expresscard with TI chipset fireware ports on it?
