If indeed you can live with an Intel based laptop which is outdated by the
time you have payed your guitar..
A better idea (unfortunately nothing but an idea, but maybe some of you 
guys
could get involved in making it reality...;-) :

built into a guitar amp

I guess I'm just enamored of the "one box" idea. When I mounted the rolls
preamp in my computer, high-gain guitar settings gave unacceptable amounts
of noise. It was the interaction of the preamp and the computer. While the
pickups can cause some problems in proximity to a computer, that hasn't 
been
a big problem for me. I'd love to have an amp that ran mobius and my guitar
amp sims. You could just turn the power on and start playing anywhere.
Imagine it had a battery. I'd love it.
