From: Brus on 7 Sep 2009 02:36 I'll buy a neetbook - Acer aspire One D250 (N270 1.6 Ghz, Xp home, 1 Gb ram). I need Mathematica 7 for student purposes in mathematics. Can a netbook run Mathematica 7 well? I need it for integral computing, graphic plots, solving system of equations. Is someone running Mathematica 7 with a netbook? Thanks

It's not zippy, mind you. It is, after all, a fairly underpowered computer, and my expectations of it are rather modest, so I rarely push it with my Mathematica usage. Not to mention that I'm often running it on battery and I believe it's default mode throttles down the CPU's max speed (I'm not certain of that, though...it just hasn't mattered to me that much to confirm it). For doing "integral computing, graphic plots, solving systems of questions", it'll probably be just fine, as long as the integrals, plots, and systems of equations aren't super-sized.

Graphics performance is a bit low, but they seem to get everything that they need from it. Given your uses, I would say that you will be fine running mathematica on a netbook.

Many of us who would like to travel light yet still run Mathematica would like to learn results of benchmarks on netbooks -- from both the Benchmarking package's Benchmark[] and Karl Unterkofler's test notebook. Some additional timings involving rendering graphics would be useful, too.
