I'm thinking about getting a laptop, and of course I want one that I can
run jackd and friends on with reasonable performance. I really don't
know much about hardware in general and laptops in particular, so I was
wondering if anyone had any advice. This is what I'm looking for:

* Mainboard / sound / CPU etc working well with recent RT-patched
  kernels.

* S/PDIF out, at least 16 bits, 48kHz, stereo. Inputs are not
  important, ADC/DAC quality is not important.

* DVD+-RW burner.

* jackd running without xruns with ~10ms latency (when using S/PDIF
  out at 48kHz).

* Room for plenty of RAM (at least 2 GB).

* Not too expensive ( < 1000€).

Any suggestions?
