[Digikam-users] Re: Mini laptop to work with Digikam on the go

[Dmitri Popov]

I'd avoid netbooks altogether. The idea of a cheap and small machine sounds good 
on paper, but in reality netbooks are too limited for any serious 
photo management tasks. I took my Asus Eee PC 1005HA on my last two trips, and I 
found it rather frustrating in daily use: the 10" screen was simply too small 
for digiKam, and the Atom processor struggled with demanding tasks. Since then, 
I switched to HP dm3, which is smaller that a regular notebook. It's a bit on 
the heavy side, but the 13" screen is a pleasure to use, and there is enough 
processing power to handle photo editing. I'm running Linux Mint on it.

Best,
Dmitri

Subject: [Digikam-users]  Mini laptop to work with Digikam on the go

I'm looking for a little laptop (mini PC, notebook or whatever) I could easily 
bring with me when travelling, so I could work on my photos with Digikam when 
I'm away from home.

I don't intend to do a lot of editing with it; but I'll be away during 3 months 
this summer and intend to shoot quite a lot, so I'll need to do as much as 
tagging/organizing/etc. as possible.
For those who work on their photos when travelling, have you any recommandation, 

for example about the screen size or anything else?

Thanks for your advice.
Marie-Noëlle
