XITE-1/4LIVE: 34/54 Express Slot and a CF
Card Reader for Solaris too. It's a 16GB Kontakt
streamer that will host the XITE-1 too. The smaller
3820k CPU is 4 cores and faster. It comes with 16GB
that are 4 x 4 SoDIMMs, even has a backlit QWERTY and a
built in card reader for Solaris. It was meant to be. |

JKSUPERSTAR:
I've got SCOPE installed no problem. Having a 15"
laptop with full 1080 HD
screen, and SCREAMING speed. I'm loving this thing so
far. Levono W520 works flawlessly. It also has PCIe2.0, and
from what I can tell, it works at that speed (an older Sony
VAIO SZ-P120 had PCIe 1.0, and that would get 13 Masterverbs
going, this surpasses that, but I need to do a more official
test. Update:
The Lenovo w520 laptop is working phenomenally. |

GARYB:
Works with ASIO and no
crackles. |

Dell M6500

T_TANGENT: I have my
XITE-1 connected to a Dell M6500
laptop which works great with Win7 32bit |
|
Dell Precision M6500 Covet
|

|
T_TANGENT: Running
Scope 5 in Win 7 32bit works flawlessly |
|
ADK |
|
|
SIRIUSBLISS: Call up
ADK. They built a great laptop
for me. ADK's are mostly custom-built from Sager and
other manufacturers, so not really off-the-shelf, but mine
works great with Xite.
BUD WEISER: If you want
really fast actual laptops w/ TI Firewire and compatible
PCIexpress 34/54slot, you have to buy a ADK Pro Audio custom
made laptop, Series 9000 w/ custom BIOS and for $3,500 US
Dollars or more (depending on features). |

Dell Precision M4400

Ricoh chipset |
KATANO: I have a Ricoh
chipset in my Dell Precision M4400 and it works like a charm |
|
Acer Travelmate 5720 |
|
Intel Centrino Core2Duo
Intel T7500 (2.2GHz) or 7700 (2.4GHz) on socket P 478/ 479
motherboard / 800FSB |
BUD WEISER: It should compatible
but I have not yet tested it. It uses a max. of 4GB DDR2 667 only and the processor
offers 4MB shared cache while the graphics share RAM too.
So not many VSTi in addition natively. But it has
Texas Instruments Firewire chipset, PCI/CIA Cardbus and
Expresscard 34/54 ! |

DELL LATTITUDE D830 |

Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, 512MB

ERIC: Olive
also bought one after he heard how well mine was working ! |

TAU: Pre-Unibody
Macbook Pros work with W7 on bootcamp. Tried a couple of
them already. |

HP Elitebook 8560p |

Up to 16gig of RAM and i7
models w/ 6MB level 3 cache available |

WEISER:
The HP Elitebook
could be a proper Xite-1 /Express Card candidate. I've
found that reported by a Reaper forumite, owning a studio.
He's reporting it has great specs, TI-Firewire and a solid
case w/ heat pipeline cooling. Reading the specs in
notebook check shows:
Expresscard 54
eSATA / USB 3 combo
And it's mentioned to be built in line with military
standards (MIL-STD 810G). Runs Win7 64Bits and
comes w/ 4gigs of RAM, Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2540M on
Intel mainboard, dedicated ATI HD6470M graphics in a
aluminum case w/ magnesium bottom. 7.200 UPM Hitachi
SATA HD 320GB
EUR 1.199.- incl. VAT. I expect RAM to be upgradable
by exchanging the sticks by larger ones or throwing more
sticks in (depends on count of slots not being reported
here). Exchanging HDD for a SSD might be a idea too.
Not cheap, but it has all we'd need in the audio world and
eventually a good investment. These Intel motherboards
are pretty reliable as are EVGA (which aren't available for
laptops at all as far as I know).
