How to make multiple layers of vocals sound clean?

I'm fairly new to mixing, so maybe this is a very basic question. But I like to record multiple layers of vocals sometimes and stack them on top of each other, and then play around with the panning.

The problem is - even when I make them match as good as possible, you can still hear that they're different layers and off by like 1% maybe, and sometimes, sounds such as "T", "P" or word endings just can't be matched 100%, which ends up making it sound a little sloppy.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to make it sound as if all the layers are "merged" into one?

Laptop for producing, recording & mixing while traveling?

Hey there,

I would like to produce beats, mix or even record vocals while traveling.

A lot of people recommended me a MacBook due to its cooling fan being pretty quiet (good for reducing noise when recording), but do I really need to spend that much money on a laptop? And is it even the best choice when it comes to the hardware itself?

I obviously want to use some VSTs that require a strong RAM and CPU. I was thinking of at least 24, if not 32GB RAM.

I would appreciate some of your experiences and recommendations!
