I don't care much about the laptop itself but the external audio board. As for the linux part I want to know wich apps are stable enough to use them live.
You need to care a bit about the right laptop and that it runs a Linux in a good way. When the BIOS is to broken it gives ACPI highest priority and strange things like interrupts in the audiostream when the fan kicks in can occur.
pd (pure data) is stable for liveperformance and I use it regulary and also in installations in exhibitions. Because of its flexibility it can be an liveinstrument complete with backing audio tracks, fx and mixing but the downside might be the complexity and the inherent steep learning curve.
