where to find information about avid-compatible laptops
Hi! I don’t know if this is the right place to place this question or not…if it isn’t, can anyone let me know where to ask? Thanks in advance.
I am looking for a new laptop to buy, and I will be using dv express 3.5 on it. I found an Acer Aspire 9503EWSMi.
The tech specs says it has an Intel Celeron M370 1.6GHz, 1Gb RAM and an Intel 915GM 128Mb graphic card. According to AVID’s site the specs are enought to run AVID, but I wanted to know if anyone have heard of any problems with such laptop or with Acer in general.
Thanks again.

Hi
Am running Avid Xpress 3.5 on my laptop. Its a Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo. Intel CENTRINO 1,6Ghz 1024 Ram 60HD intel 128video SHARED.
it works perfect, but the problem its when i conect a second monitor to my laptop. I cant see playing in the monitor window if its on the second monitor. The solution its make the second monitor on the left, and use it for the project window, and also to open the bins.
It works perfect, export, import, digitize…. I use the FW port to digitize, and i have already bought a PCMIA firewire card that i use to conect a LaCie extreme D2 250HD. That way i can have a nice tranference rate, and both working at the same time.
I only recomend you not to buy a CELERON, cause the cache its so low, and it can be that Avid dont work with that. I have a friend runnning it, in a PENTIUM 4 laptop, but i also some friend wiht a SONY VAIO, and a HP laptop that they cant use the avid because a soundcard problem. Finally the gave them back.
Hope to be useful.
Feel free to ask about my computer!!!!!

Please take a look at the Avid site. Tons of useful info on specific processors, etc. It’s a really good place to avoid headaches…

Thaks for the info guys!
I’ll check the Avid’s site more carefully and I’ll stay away from the Celerons 🙂
