Greg Doughty Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Wow, thanks so much. I searched the Internet, but had a hard time finding something. I think I am going to try it. I am sequencing on my desktop machine, and running it off of my old laptop, but the netbooks are really appealing.Gregwww.vblights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanward Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I believe running the show off of one of these netbooks should be really easy in terms of it's CPU power (Intel Atom)?Anyone purchased one of these yet to run a show/sequencehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228Acer Aspire Revo.

I have connected my Mini9 to a 26 inch Sony LCD to watch movies.. it is a little powerhouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I ran my show using an ACER ONE NET BOOK i think it has a 9 inch screenIt ran the show nicely without any lags or any problmes that I can rememberTwo important things one if you are going to leave it on all the time use a note or net book cooler that plugs into the usb. I use a laptop cooler it is lager than need be but it is cheaper only about 5 to 9 bucks on the internet.the other issue is a power issue open power options under when pluged in make sure it is set to not turn off computer after x amount of time it is normally set for 2 hours I think the only one you want on is stand by. on the pluged in option and I would not recommend changing any under when running on battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanward Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I also have an Acer Aspire One netbook, but used the mdm-mp3 (mini director) this past year.I want to go back to using a PC to "direct" the show, in hopes of doing RDS for this year's show.

George Simmons Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've also used an Acer Aspire One. For me, I'd only use it in a pinch for sequencing. At home I have a 22" LCD monitor and compared to that the Acer's screen is almost painfully tiny. As a lark while waiting for someone in a doctor's office or something it's okay - meaning better than reading year-old magazines. But for serious sequencing for anything over 16 channels, for me and my 57 year-old eyes it's way too much of a strain. I haven't used it for running a show yet. It would be my plan C in that capacity so I'm hoping that I'll never have a first-person report on that capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
