I am going to be getting a laptop to use MIDI and some audio with. I will be running FruityLoops and Cubase, and I was wondering what some good ones would be and what some of the minimun requiremnts should be, and also if I should get a good soundcard with it or an Audio/MIDI interface. Thanks

interface. more inputs.

But if I got the interface, would I still need a better soundcard for good quality or woudl the interface work on its own?

the interface would hookup via firewire or usb and work on its own
