Thread: Netbooks sufficient for realtime tuning?

I've been looking for something inexpensive for on the fly tuning, I was wondering if the new wave of "netbooks" have what it takes.

something like this: New HP 2133 Mini-Note Laptop 1.2GHz 1GB DDR2 120GB XP - eBay (item 320364016902 end time May-04-09 13:23:10 PDT)

or any of the tiny offerings from Acer.

How much computing power do programs like Calumsult or Nistune actually require?

TIA

I believe they both tell you on their websites. Check it out.

It seems they more than double the minimum requirements, thanks. Any opinions as to whether this is a smart way to go? I figure this would be good to just leave in the car at all times.. i wouldnt want to do that with a full featured laptop.

If you can swing it, then I believe it's a great idea. Just make sure there aren't any sticky fingers waiting to snatch it.

I would personally love to have an inexpensive laptop for in the garage, car, etc.
