Presonus Firebox -> New PC Laptop

Post by wobblefish » Mon Feb 06, 2012 4:44 pm

So I'm looking at picking up a new laptop for DJing/Production. Looking to spend around 500-700 (CAD) and aiming for a PC since my production software is FL Studio (and a MacBook is quite far past the budget). Started browsing and became hip to the fact that Firewire seems to be a discontinued option on most PC laptops. This is an issue since my audio interface, the Presonus Firebox uses that.

I suppose my question is pretty generic, basically: What are my options?

Anyone know of any PC laptops (preferably in said price range) that are sticking with Firewire?
Would it be better to look for a USB-based sound card than searching for a special laptop?
Can the firebox be run as a USB device? (shot in the dark but figured I'd ask).

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

-Matt
