Thats funny I was just about to asks a similar question. I too own a Macbook but after seeing everyone at SnakeValley last weekend with their PC laptops was considering buying a cheap refurbished laptop to run my scope from. Then I would do my image processing on my macbook. Been so long since I used a PC I am not even sure what specs to look for.
Found a few similar to these around $200-300:
Intel 2nd Gen Core i5 Processor 2430M 2.4Hz
4GB RAM (upgradable to 8GB)
13.3" (1366 x 768)
500GB Hard Drive
Webcam
WIFI, Bluetooth
Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium license
3mth Warranty
Would something like this be ok to run an astrophotography set-up?
Does the price seem reasonable? Or does anyone know of a good site for refurbished laptops? Will be spending enough on the scope set-up don't want to spend too much on the laptop.
Thanks
Duncan
