k6ccc Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Take a look at either Dell outlet - https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjwi7_uh63dAhWOnH4KHQr5B20YABAAGgJwYw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD2dvIkRMNN9l-bjJH7L6HK&sig=AOD64_0iM3oCDs7bOEBLWvFzamYt_S95OA&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjw4rnuh63dAhWLFTQIHR8SB54Q0Qx6BAgCEAI&adurl= or Tiger Direct refurb: - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/campaigns/deals.asp?campaignid=3331 I have bought a number of computers over the years from both. Never had a problem and you can save quite a it of money. For a show computer, you don't need a lot of computer. For a sequencing computer, yes, a higher end computer is better. I just bought this on from the Dell Outlet a few months ago. It's a pretty high end gaming computer. Saved at least $500 by going through the outlet.

LOR Staff Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 FYI... I see they have gone up $30 since last years model, but I love the Acer Aspire E15 series for general workhorse laptops. For $380 they are a great buy. I have a side client and I have been purchasing that model for them for a couple of years now. They absolutely love them. With the exception of one, where I'm sure the user entered a glass of water into the keyboard instead of his password, I have never had a problem with any of them.

jfuller8400 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I just purchased an HP Omen with an i7-8700, 512 SDD, 2TB HD, 16M memory, and a NVIDIA GTX 1080ti 11G graphics card, plus 2 - 27" curved monitors. I'm thinking I should be able to do a little bit of video editing now with this baby. Now I'm just waiting for it to ship. Sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the 1080ti to my 1070ti video card, and I am using my existing 24 inch monitors. Enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 RAM is fairly cheap. Laptops have limited RAM slots. You don''t ADD RAM, you REPLACE the existing RAM with bigger. Buy BIGGER when possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, you may disagree as you seem to run a Christmas show biggest enough to be seen from the space station. From my experience, it doesn't require much of a powerful computer to run a light show with LOR. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 No, it does not take a lot of computer to RUN a show. It takes a lot more to sequence a show. The primary reason I replaced it is that the video card could not keep up with thousands of pixels. I did replace my show computer a year ago, but that was primarily to upgrade from WinXP. It’s a run of the mill computer that I paid less for hat $200 for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rondaxmas Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I just got my laptop and having trouble with it. It is a dell with windows and when I turned it on it says it is running edge? I went to the LOR website and clicked download for software, but nothing happened. It says I purchased 5 seat license for light o rama basic plus with superstar demo. Which part of the downloads should I be choosing. My email says to download from the website, then to use the new license, open Sequence Editor and click Help, then register. Should this be done before trying to download? Thanks for any help . I haven't been able to do this during the day yet because its been hectic here, so the nights are more quiet.
