MATLAB: What is the best laptop for crunching numbers with Matlab

Question

I deal with audio waves sampled at 44.1 KHz and with plotting using mesh. As a result I often cause my 5 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop to struggle and sometimes outright die. I am thinking of a Toshiba Quosmio 775 that has the I7 processor and the 7200 rpm hard disc and the 17" screen. Anyone have any experience using this laptop with Matlab. If not, then what laptop do you recommend? Thanks.

Answer 1

The fastest, most powerful laptop I know of is the Alienware M18x

The fastest, most powerful desktops I know of are built by Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking

These may be overkill for your audio application though.
