Re: Laptops: Will You Guys Use Them On The Robot?
Wouldn't you be stuck with the $400 price limit from <R19>? With that type of a budget... you'll still be stuck with a little Atom powered netbook (and probably not with a SSD). I don't think it will give you much of an advantage. I tried video processing on a little dual core HP Atom powered netbook, and it struggled to keep up with everything else. We have a really powerful cRio that is designed to do so much more than we're throwing at it right now. With the correct tuning, we can almost do anything with it.
