New Computer

[behzad]

So finally I got me a new computer. I think it should run Xara fine. Has 32M memory.

32MB?

I had one of those... 20 years ago....

how quiet is it behzad? could I listen to quiet classical/jazz whilst it was running... always fancied a small beast on the side...

@Acorn 32MB yes, @handrawn it is quiet, really not bad and it is fast too. I am happy with my purchase.

@Acorn 32MB yes.

I think your have misread its specification. The site mentions "Max 64GB SO-DIMM DDR4"; there is no such thing as a 32MB DDR4 chip. The XDAs require a minimum of 4GB memory.

thats good - the CPU is fast on paper certainly; at 400 or so GBP could be worth a look....

I was looking at a higher spec version - and you can upgrade to a max of 64 GB and 2TB SDD according to their site - one issue would be if there are only the 3 USB ports, but at least one is 'C'; still would need a hub for a main machine, but tempting for a standby as an alternative to a laptop

Impressive.

@handrawn. I think there are two more USB (not C) ports round the back.



@behzad. Did it come with Windows 11?
