Hello &Amp; Quick Computer Question

My names Grant. Eagerly awaiting me kit to arrive.

I'm a puppeteer with the Jim Henson Company and I'm excited to try my hand at building an animatronic puppet. Control the mouth and eyes/eyelids with the kit.

I am a die hard Mac computer user. I know my options are Parallels on a Mac but it's $70 for Parallels and then $199 for windows 7. I'm thinking for $250 I could just get a PC laptop to use exclusively with my robots.

Being a die hard Mac guy, I'm wondering what the minimum requirements are to run the software? Or the optimum requirements. I've poked around on the site and didn't see them butnifmive missed them I apologize.

Thanks so much! Can't wait to join the fun.

While I browsed eBay and Kijiji, I found this site useful:

2012 netbook CPU comparisson

I'm not sure if you're looking for a netbook like I am but I think for the size and portability it would be best for a good EZ-B Controller. slap an SSD in it an the battery life should be good too.

Good luck and FYI: Fraggles > Muppets ANY day in my books!

Toasterboy , search for a atom 1.6ghz acer one netbook , I've had 3 of them. They are powerful enough , small , light , and reliable. Find them on eBay for about a hundred dollars.
