I'm in the market for a good used laptop. I have an .h.p. pavilion z.d. 8000 which I blew a boatload of money on that has an apparently unsolvable overheating problem. I only really use my laptop for playback of ptw files during gigs. (Im not the most computer savvy person here so please bear with me:) I create my files on my desktop and am really happy w/my setup. I know what the minimum requirements are to run ptw 12. But what are the recommended requirements (for playback only)?
All of the used laptops I look At online are advertising wi fi and a lot of office type software wich I would remove anyway. I just want a machine I can dedicate as a ptw file playback unit for gigs. (ie windows xp, one or two u.s.b. ports, c.d. rom drive, and hopefully without a lot of programs on there, especially stuff that keeps trying to make the machine get on line, I took all of that stuff off from my h.p. because I wanted it to last a long time (what a joke) . any suggestions?
