advice re moving from desktop Logic TDM to native Laptop rig

Hi Logic users

I am frustrated with my G5, PCI-x PT HD 4 Logic TDM system and its  
bugginess with Logic 8. I see a break in my schedule and some  
extended travel trips back east (from LA) in my future, so I'm  
thinking about making the leap to a laptop ONLY system, without HD at  
all..and using that whether or not I'm home or away.

Questions

1. What laptop computer do you advise? I assume the newest MACbook  
Pro with maxed out memory.
2. What upper limit track count can I expect (Audio and midi?)
3. Is latency an issue anymore (that's why i used my HD system, but  
macs are fast now)
4. Will my Waves Gold (TDM), Autotune (TDM), SSL (TDM) etc and my  
Native Instruments, Nexus, trilogy, Omnisphere, RA, Colossus,  
Battery, Stylus all work anlongside Logic 9 in Snow Leopard?
5. Are there good audio interfaces that would parallel the quality of  
the HD rig?
6. Does the HD rig stand a chance of selling? (as a pro tools only  
rig it would kick)
7. Could I use these HD cards (I have an exp chassis) work on the  
Macbook Pro laptop for Logic/TDM use, or is that relationship still  
precarious at best?

There will be more questions I'm sure, and I appreciate any comments  
or feedback

thanks so much

Greg
