No chance. Word processing, email/internet and video/mp3 playback is about all they can handle comfortably.

Darn it all to hell.

What's a half decent alternative then?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

One of those lovely small sony vaios.

2 grand but.

No flippin' way can I justify splashin' that sorta cash on a puter.

Generally the smaller you go the more expensive they get. The vaios do anyway.

Otherwise you could probably get a 15" laptop that'd check all your boxes for 1,200.

Flip. I might have to bite the bullet. The old desktop is about 4 or 5 years old now and has a smell of death on it.

I'd also like to be able to sit in a pub, use their wi-fi, have a pint and watch filth/play WOW.

I'm using photoshop CS2 on my advent. No problem with it whatsoever. Obviously, my desktop is faster, but it works decently enough. I wouldn't try merging five pics from 5D though. Well, maybe I will. Just as a test.

But the wacom and CS2 were working fine and dandy yesterday for the chisler.

Ooh... what machine is that Goff?

That sounds like some kind of utopia.

The advent from PC World. You wouldn't do much photoshopping on it tbh, cos the screen is only 10 inches. But it's handy if you're out and about.

I really only want it for bukes and internet when travelling. Fits into camera bag. Weighs feck all.

But if you're thinking of doing some serious photoshopping, better off getting a more powerful (and more expensive) laptop.

XP and its shiny and black too

just stuck a 2gb SODIMM and an 8gb SDHC into it.

what else can go in?

 

[Ferox13]

Set up a Remote admin back to my downloading machine at home.

I was checking/changing my torrents from the bar in Cineworld yesterday...

 

[Johnnyc]

[pete]

Looks good for the money. What are you thinking of using it for?

 

[Gambra]

Medion Akoya (MSI Wind/Advent rebadge) is on sale in Aldi on Sunday. For €399.99 though. A whole €60 more than PC World are selling the exact same machine for.
