Another question we received recently involves using a Dell laptop to capture EVP.

I don't see why it couldn't work... I would be worried, however, that the condenser mic (on Dells, usually either situated near the built-in webcam on the "top" of the screen, down at the base of the screen on the main component near the power button, or in the direct front of the main component,) would be picking up a lot of "laptop" sounds... like fans, hard-drive movements, and other things...

...but why not, it's worth a try...

Laptops can also be used on-site for taking notes, downloading photos, and for web cam use. Remember to keep your battery fully charged, and get a good extended service plan if you are going to be taking your laptop out in the field.
