LR 2.3 runs snappy on the little machine. In the next days I will
import (all) my PEF files from the desktop to see if and when it
crashes.
Tagging and sorting should be no problem. The screen and LED
backlight isn't good enough for serious editing or calibrating. Only
problem I noticed is the
A few days ago I tried a test version LR 2.3 at a notebook I borrowed.
With about 100 files it was snappy. Faster than my 1.4 installation at
my regular box. But after importing a few more it slowed down
considerably.
So I would appreciate it if you reported back after some more use.

Me, too. I use an Acer w/a 120GB HD. The optical drive would be a nice
addition, but I just picked up a 320GB portable HD for about 70USD which
works well for additional storage. The Acer has two SD slots and three
USB ports so even flash drives for additional storage are viable options.
As cheap as memory cards are (taking into account that they are
reusable), you could just copy the cards to the netbook and then mail
the card home.
That would save you the extra step of toting around a DVD burner, and the DVDs.
Plus I'm guessing it might be a bit cheaper to mail an sd card
Last trip I used 2 - 8Gb cards and a single 16GB card.
Downloaded these to my laptop, but didn't erase until I backed them up at home.
That really worked just fine.
32 Gb is getting to be a bit much for my laptop to swallow.
Driving next time, so maybe I'll take a portable hard drive.

Imported 700 K20D PEF in LR without any problems. Runs as smooth as my
big desktop. Rendering previews takes more time as expected with a
small atom cpu. This netbook has 2Gb which makes all the difference.
Also discovered I can set the resilotion to 1024x768 which enables
scrolling but all the
If I'm still using the *ist-D then that is probably a worthwhile
strategy. Even in RAW you get a lot on an 8GB card. I wonder how many
RAW files you'll get onto an 8GB card in the new shiny thing.

Enabled myself with a MSI Wind netbook, runs 5-6 hours on a
batterycharge, has an SDHC card slot, 160 Gb disc and enough power to
run Lightroom. Small enough to fit in a normal photobag (10), about 1
kg and half the price of a 100 Gb imagetank (300 euros)!

I did a similar thing years back with a Toshiba Libretto running PS6
on Windows 2000 in a whole 64mb of Ram. It was slow, but when you are
only copying files and reviewing the day's shooting it was good
enough. The only downside was no optical drive as I like to burn
copies to DVD and
That,s definitely an interesting idea. What version of LR?
And have you imported a serious amount of files to it?
If you have. How does it perform? Good enough for tagging and sorting
pictures in the field?

Cool. My brother gave me a birthday present last year - a small 6.7
or something laptop computer. I doubt it can run LR but it can be used
as a video player while on board (for Galia) of a plain and as a image
tank for travel. Presently I use it for eBook reading too ;-).
