Would a laptops slower hard drive speed going to cause problems? I use a Lexicon Alpha on my laptops and I havent ever had a problem due to 5400 rpm.
Or are the demands on the hardware so low that it won't matter?? I think so.
Also what about sound cards? Do these units have their own sound cards?... These units actually are a sound card in themselves and a little more (more options than your laptops soundcard. Hope this helps
