You might look at a desknote. They don't have batteries, but usually you'll have power around if you're doing audio work. The upside is that they pack a lot more power for much less money. The one I have came without a hard drive, CPU, or RAM. The RAM is cheap because it takes regular fullsize desktop RAM, rather than specialized laptop RAM. Also the CPU is a desktop CPU which means its faster and cheaper. I've heard some of the newer ones sport dual optical drives, fancy video cards and huge LCDs. But they're also very heavy compared to a laptop. Various companies make desknotes, including ECS and Dell.
I bought my desknote 2.5 years ago for $1k US and it has a 1.75 GHz processor and can take up to 1 Gig of memory.
