have you tried removing the earth from your
laptrop. one of mine makes a hideous noise unless i either unplug the psu or
rip out the earth.

Weird...and you've probably done what I've tried
too, plugging the powersupply into different outlets. I have not tried
plugging it into a different circuit yet (as many outlets in a venue or your
house can be on the same circuit). Not sure if that would help, though. I
think it is a proximity thing with the powersupply and other audio gear. How
about encasing it in a lead box? :) Anyway, this sort of forces us to
use notebook that have long battery life...not thoe with desktop processores
in them (the big, thick ones), but the mobile units. My wife's Centrino
Thinkpad last for 4 hours...not bad.

I have the same problem running from my Emachine laptop.
Running on power supply? hum/noise.
Running on battery? No
hum/noise, but I have about an hour or so...
However, I also have the
same hum coming from a Gbox shuttle that is my desktop recording solution.
I've replaced and done everything I can think of except move to a
new house.

Well,
with exception of the hum problem I have with my HP nc6000, which
could
be a defective powersupply, both the IBM and HP "commerical" boxes
kick
ass. I have nothing but good things to say about the
Thinkpads....my
wife, who works for Intel, uses one as her work
computer (all Intel
employees use them), but I don't think you could go
wrong with one of the
commerical/business notebooks from HP either.
Also, IBM doesn't make
Thinkpads anymore, they sold that whole product
line to Lenovo. Hopefully
this won't have an impact on their quality in
the future.
Here is question for you all...with all the high
performance standards
required for gaming, would it make sense to find
a notebook for music
applications that has also been proven to be a
good choice for gaming? Aside
from the graphics part, it seems the
processor, cache, and other system
architecture features might be good
for music applications as well...just a
thought.
