Hi all,



Now I've got SkyDemon, I'm considering getting a small laptop / netbook to run Plan on for then I'm away from home.



Anyone done this with a Netbook running Windows 7 Starter? What's performance like?



Will the mobile sync stuff in Windows 7 Starter connect up to a Windows CE 6 GPS Ok? Microsoft's web pages say it should, but I'd prefer a success story before I go and stump up the cash!



Cheers



Andy

I have an Acer tablet that is half way between a Netbook and a proper laptop. Performance is fine for planning, although I havent yet experimented with it in-flight.



However the touch features of Win 7 are pretty much useless, I effectively only use the screen tap with a finger to replace a mouse click.
