Y'know ... that opens up an interesting and timely question i'd like to ask:
What are the minimum requirements (HD size, processor speed, amount of RAM etc) one should aim for in buying a lappy
solely for astro use???
I know it's like asking "how long's a piece of string" and depends on what you want to do and how hard you want to push it etc,
but let's say it's only going to be used for capture and processing of astro stuff.
Let's also say we'll be using periodically moving processed images onto external storage devices, CDs DVDs etc
I'd want something which is reasonably fast ... but not Deep Thought fast
What specs should I aim for, and what's a fair price new/2nd hand?
Thanks
