Hi people! A friend asked me about a good laptop for Resolume, so I Googled a bit, found this forum and browsed a bit. I see some of you use quite old laptops, but almost everybody uses a fast external HD to store video files and so. The problem is that she prefers not to carry a 3.5" external HD in addition to the rest of the equipment. Do you think it's possible to go live at high quality (don't know exactly the resolution she is going to use, let's assume the best one) just using the internal HD? The laptop I proposed to her was:
Dell Precision M4300 (Windows XP Pro)
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2,0 GHz), 2 GB RAM
120 GB HD, 7200 rpm
Nvidia Quadro FX 360M (professional-grade equivalent to GeForce 8400 GS).
Would this laptop do a good job? Do you have any other suggestion? I guess a faster CPU and larger HD would be better, but that config is more or less right for her budget.
Thanks for your attention.
