My laptop with vista never recognized my radias so I wanna buy this laptop exclusively for the radias. These are the features:

Intel Atom processor N270
1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 cache
8.9" WSVGA high-brightness Acer CrystalBrite TFT LCD
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
1024MB DDR 533MHz Dual Channel Memory
120GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

Additional Features

Windows XP Home
Acer Crystal Eye Webcam 3-cell Li-ion (2200 mAh) Battery
3 - USB 2.0 Ports AC Power Adapter
Multi-in-1 Card Reader AC Power Cord
Acer InviLink 802.11b/g Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Modem Cable
3-cell Li-ion (2200 mAh) Battery
2.19 lbs. 995 g (system unit only)

You can upgrade the ram to 1.5 gb.
So do you think It's a good buy?

I'd never buy an Acer, never any good experience with that.

Will you use it for anything other than running the Radias editor? It's underpowered by current standards for any other music software.

Not sure how well the editor will display on such a small screen. Other than that, should be OK. Make sure you have a return option!!!

Mine is a toshiba.

What brand do you recommend?

I was thinking about this one

Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 preloaded

You want to buy a laptop just for editing your Radias? Doesn't the Radias have like a lot of knobs?

Can you use the editor with a standard MIDI connection? It would be much cheaper to simply buy a MIDI interface an a couple cables than a dedicated laptop.

I use the editor mainly as a librarian, to me that's more important than the editing itself.

I wanted to buy the acer just for the radias to can use the sounds that I downloaded from the forum but if I buy a bigger one like the sony vaio then I'll use it for the college too.
