We have been using IBM (now Lenovo) T43P laptops for several years with great success and minimal issues (knock on wood). We are able to run everything (including HKL2000) with no problems on these machines. I am sure that the newer T60 series would behave similarly.
Good luck - Steve -----Original Message----- From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:ccp...@jiscmail.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Salgado, Paula Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 11:05 AM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] advice on laptop for crystallography Dear all I'm planning to upgrade my laptop and would like to run most crystallography programs. I was wondering if people could comment on their current prefered options. I would prefer not to go for a Mac, so any other alternative suggestions would be more than welcome. Also, I did a little research and it seems few laptops could deal with the resolution requirements for HKL2000 - any thoughts on that as well? Thanks in advance for all the help.
