Hi Friends,
I had an interesting discussion with one of my Friend.It was about loading trading terminals on netbook.
Since I have not used netbooks ,I was not sure from my end about its performance.Most of netbooks now a days come with 1.66GHZ and 1GB DDR-2/3 and 250-320GB Hard disk.
Its not the above which is a constraint for loading terminals.The point of discussion is the processor which these netbooks carry.All netbooks comes with Atom N450 or now max N750.Atom as we know is inferior to Dual core and for most of the trading terminals, minimum requirement itself is a dual core.
In addition to above heating up of the machine can be another issue here as these machines are not meant for high performance.Lets assume that we use some good cooling hubs like Belkins to eliminate this issue.
My friend wants to load three terminals and not one or two!!.Tradetiger,Zerodha provided terminal and odien diet.
Even I googled around for some reviews ,all they say is we can run but no practical comments.
What I suggested my friend is that instead of getting a netbook for 15k ,he can go for a full fledged ! laptop like Lenovo B460 which are meant for business and tough performance.he has to shell out just 6-7 thousand extra for the models like Lenovo B460.Even upgraded versions of Toshiba Satellite models come for 20-21K with 15.6" screen size.
Now a days hardly we hear about machines with core 2 Duo and i3,i5's are anyway beyond his budgets.
Hence I thought of sharing it so that if any one has used Netbooks for trading can share their experience.All comments are welcome.
