New PC - 2009: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:52, 14 December 2009

It's been a long time I'm surviving with the same PC at home. May be it's time to buy a new one...

Main requirement: silence!
Form-factor: Laptop would be a nice-to have. Would free some space on the desk, reduce cable clutter. But more expensive
- On battery time is secondary. I'll mainly use it as a desktop anyway
Resolution: laptop, min. 1440x9000, ideally 1920x1200. Desktop, min 1920x1200 mandatory.
Ports: IEEE 1394 interface mandatory to acquire DV Video from digital handycam
OS: PC must be Linux compatible. Let's get a Windows license for ease. Windows 7 english 64-bit Professional minimum.
- Ultimate + Media center would be nice-to-have
Graphic cards: NVidia mandatory for best Linux compatibility
Bluetooth
Wifi 802.11 n
