The little netbook I use for guiding and a mini-pc draw little power in the field well within my battery capacity for all night sessions. Of course, I still capture everything to my camera SD card and that makes it possible. Still even without camera memory some of the little box pcs could work for capture devices for CCD cameras.
hi glen, its possible but I guess I would need another screen.
if I had an obsy i'd probably consider it but thinking a stable notebook will do me, keep it a bit more simple. I can't believe I used to photo edit on my old laptop, dss stacking or registax video files took hours!
