Well, I am like 5 k into my DSO desk top, and I am now thinking about grabbing up a new lap top. Who out there has any experience with DSO for those? I want a good, stable and high end lap top and of course I am thinking of DSO first since my gaming desk top is so amazing.
 
Anyone one have one or have any input? Pros or cons or any other opinions are welcome.

There used to be a laptop section in the configurator, but it is currently not available. It may be under construction. Your best bet is to contact DSO by phone to ask about laptop availability and options.
