What are you using with VCDS.
« on: July 05, 2011, 10:12:59 pm »
I've been using my old Sony Vaio (on its last legs now) for a while now and when I complete a mod that needs coding i find it too cumbersome and I think its time for a new laptop or maybe a netbook.

Any suggestions and comments welocomed.

BTW the Vaio is an 15"4 monitor.

Got an Acer Aspire one something or other. Only have that programme on it and it's nice and small to manoeuvre about in cars.

Samsung NC10 netbook.

Easy to use, very portable, long battery life, and if you sit in the driver's seat, it fits on your lap without being obstructed by the steering wheel

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

What screen sizes,had a peek in pc world the other day,10"1 was very small but seems ideal for the car.

Most of the netbooks I saw were with the Intel 450N,550N but only 1GB of memory are these more than capable with the Windows 7?

What does the Win7 in a Parallels VM on my MBP mean vRStu for mere mortals like myself?

Parallells allows you to run another OS in your host OS in my case Win 7.  You could use pretty much any combination but I have Mac OSX as the host on my Macbook Pro.

Yes they are expensive but there are big savings if you can gain access to the Student Discount.  Still gonna be £1k to get something decent though.
