    Well my only concern would be the graphic card as far as resolution is concerned... most notebooks have 1280x600

    I use 1024x768. I am an old man, i need big letters.
    The laptop runs PM CDU and EICAS. In the background is also still running FDC Livecockpit.

    Well,

    I am not decided yet... In fact, I am nowhere near my decision !!!

    The facts are that my 2 Sony Vaio VGN-C1S laptops with the following characteristics are more than enough....

    Sony Vaio VGN-C1S
    Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 (1,66GHz, 667MHz FSB,Intel 945GM Express Chipset, L2 Cache memory 2048Kb)
    2x 512MB DDR2 533 MHz RAM
    100GB 5400rpm SATA
    DVD+-RW (Supporting DVD+-R DL/RAM)
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 128MB (Shared)

    The second fact is that I need a third laptop, preferably the same one as above. We are talking about a more than 3 years old... In eBay the cost something like 100-1500 euro, and most probably this week I will buy a used one for the EICAS

    Yes I know Skino ...

    The notebook problem is not the resolution, but the low speed of the graphics card and the processor... I tried it and the result was 62 in PM glass cockpit rating. Anything above 150 would be acceptable.

    Re: Notebooks as PM clients ?

    PM runs great on a 6 year old Centrino laptop I have, but rubbish on a 1 year old netbook. I'd have thought given the progress made in the 5 year gap, they'd be similar.
