Hello,
I occasionally travel and want to take GNURadio with me. I wonder
what laptops or small form factor systems (like ITX) work well with
GNURadio.
My current laptop, a Z60t, uses a 1.7 Pentium M. It is okay for
most GNURadio apps but I get USRP overruns on other apps. My Core 2
Duo Desktop does better but it is too big. A Quad Core Laptop would
be great but there seems to be only a few products based on Desktop
Chips.
I've been happy with a whole series of X* ThinkPads. Last I checked
they're shipping with Core 2 Duos in them, which gives you a pretty
serious 64-bit platform. I'd probably opt for a 7200 RPM drive and
2 GB of RAM.
Hello,
I looked at the T and X series and I may get a T. The new X61 with the
dock does not look too bad. I looked at the X300 but it is targeted
more for low power. I should hurry up or I will not be able to get one
with Windows XP.
The thing I keep forgetting about a luggable box is you likely need to
lug a display, keyboard, and mouse as well.
I still bought a new battery for the Z60t and while browsing decided to
buy the new 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Motherboard and a Apex MI-100 mini-ITX
case. Mainly to play with for a possible car computer but I will try
GNURadio. I plan to load Debian on it. I came close to buying a PS3
for GNURadio use but it is not quite ready.
I am happy with the Thinkpad series and use a 600e and a 600x for other
radio stuff. It looks like the new series from Lenovo is the Ideapad.
They can use the Thinkpad name only for a limited time and they want to
give it up early.
73 Eric
