Simple near state of art laptop solution wanted

I'm finally going to try a laptop based play back system in place of my Levinson 39. In reading the forums, the one that I've seen that interests me the most is the Empirical Audio Off-Ramp I2s and Benchmark DAC moded at some level. Before jumping in, I'd really like to get some comments from those use the same and other comments on what else might be a better choice. Wireless would be a big plus, but it would need to pass 24/96. I'll use a couple of external hard drives as primary and backup. I'm not yet sure what fast CD or DVD burner to use so comments on those also appreciated.

My system now is Levinson 383, No. 39, Wilson WP 6's, Exactpower EP15, Sony and a REL Studio Sub.

Thanks in advance for all comments.

I have done a couple of laptops for customers in the past month, an hp Pavilion ($1850) and a Toshiba Satellite ($1000). I like the Toshiba the best. Easy to set-up, great ergonomics (touch-pad and screen) and good functionality for ripping (fast and accurate). Also has great packing for re-shipping it.
