It's not a problem using a Laptop if you have a good motion control card using Ethernet. I've been running machines from Laptops for years running jobs that last 30+ hrs without stopping and they never fail or drop out. The Same can't be said for USB it's irratic and unpredictable. There's so many things that can affect it IMO it's not a good or suitable connection for reliable Motion control.
