Alost any PC or Mac laptop can be made to work.  You can add to it an 
external sound module.  Some of the best ones have a built-in interface, 
so you don't need a MIDI unit.  I'm thinking of at least one box from 
Yamaha, and two from Korg.  I think Roland has one with the build-in 
interface too.  Anyway,  the computer,  external box (they're small too) 
and software to taste and then you just need to connect to an 
amplification system.  Whole thing could fit in a briefcase.
