Netbook dedicated to MZ-RH10 MZ-RH1

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Hi

I recently got a macbook and I have many compatibility issues especially with my MZ-rh10. I thought that it would be a good idea to buy a small cheap -maybe used- netbook dedicated to my MDs alone. Do you think that it will work? Do you know the minimum technical requirements for the netbook? I thought I should avoid Windows 7 or Vista. Any suggestions? Can a netbook run sufficiently Audacity?

From a minimum search I did I found no similar topic. If there is please send me a link and delete this one.

Thank you

Funny, I actually went this route, though I didn't go for a netbook. I actually went with a used Dell Inspiron 1501 with a 64bit Athlon x2 Processor. I figured that was more than enough to handle running a program like Audacity, and I was right. I also decided to stick with using XP as the OS, though considering that Win7 supposedly has an "XP mode", that might be a decent option. I haven't heard about this though, so i can't say for sure.

Honestly, I suggest that you get your hands on a used laptop instead of a netbook if you want a dedicated portable computer ti work with your MD stuff. You'll be spending about the same amount of money, but you'll be getting more for your dollar. There are some decent place online to shop from, and Dell in particular even has a site dedicated to un-bought and refurbished laptops sold at greatly reduced prices. Peronsally, I'd recomend getting either a Toshiba or an IBM/Leveno, but Dells aren't too bad: I'm using this Inspiron simply because it was a hand me down that lasted it's owner 3 years with little problem... AND it was bought from the refurbished site, so that says something about how well it's been keeping up. But I wouldn't get a netbook, unless it has decent processing power AND enough harddrive space to hold your music.
