suue Vodopan Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Any insight appreciated. I'm on a suuuuper tight budget. Will SL run on this? 7th Generation AMD A6-9220e Processor with Radeon™ R4 Graphics Memory: 4GB, DDR4, 2400MHz Hard Drive: 32GB eMMC Video Card: Integrated graphics with AMD APU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Is that a convertible? A 2016 second-hand typewriter machine? Does it even run a standard Windows version? It's very, very... very entry class low level CPU with a tiny main"drive", not worth mentioning the rest. How tight is that budget and does it have to be a laptop-type of machine? Because if you invest in that thing, you have essentially burned part of your potential savings for a worthwhile purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suue Vodopan Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I guess that's a "no" then. I really appreciate your input, but you come across as very judgemental. I had no idea, hence my asking. It's a Dell Inspiron 3000 - yes it's low-end, I know that much. What I am asking, more specifically, is WILL SL run on it - at the lowest settings.

Lillith Hapmouche Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Actually, "typewriter" was quite on point... Well. If you google that version, you easily come across the Amazon review page. On there, you'll find a comment that even plain music playback is a hassle on that toy. It's absolutely not made or remotely meant to run something like SL. You'll probably have more fun running SL on your smartphone with the Lumiya viewer. Instead of your pointless judgemental remark, you could have answered the two questions, which would have helped to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suue Vodopan Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Maybe just tone down a bit? I feel as though my original query offended you lol As for the 4 questions you asked - no, it is not a "second-hand typewriter machine" and yes, it runs Windows 10. The 3rd question you posed was budget: $300-400. And yes, laptop, to answer the 4th. Thanks for your help - is there anyone else with an opinion?

Lillith Hapmouche Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 You're right. It's not second-hand. However, that thingy is nothing more than a typewrite and no state of feeling offended will change that. For that budget, you can get lucky on a true second-hand laptop on Ebay and alike. Hopefully someone will help you with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalates Urriah Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Lillith is being blunt. I doubt she is 'offended' by anything you said. She is tring to convey her disdain for the lame computer you are looking at. The CPU is rated here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A6-9220e&id=3198 It is the worst of all those rated. Using the CPU's built in graphics will make it miserable for use with SL. A 32GB storage device is only sufficient for Windows. Adding software will fill the drive. I hope you meant 320GB. The direct answer to your 'will it run SL' SL question... define run... It most likely will. But, it isn't going to be usable. You can take the US$300-$400 to eBay and get a WAY WAY better machine. (Laptops) Jump to $500 and you could get lower end new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, Windows would use most of that 32GB. If it doesn't have to be a laptop, a desktop would give a lot more bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suue Vodopan Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 My "offended" comment was tongue-in-cheek - the bluntness took me aback I guess Thank you for the input - you saved me a couple of hundred dollars - drinks are on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cykarushb Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Run, yes Enjoyably? no if you're on a tight budget, look into getting an Optiplex 790 and a GT 1030 eBay has lots of sellers that sell the entire system, tower, monitor, keyboard and mouse for like 160$, usually with an i3/i5 and 4/8gb of ram. Already with Windows 7/10 installed. Simply drop in the GT 1030 for another 80-100$ and you have a fairly capable machine, plenty for SL. opposite of high end, but decent performance for under 300$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
