Developer laptop specifications

Question

Greetings,

I would like to know what are the specifications (Hardware/Software) that a developer laptop should have if it is running the following programs and softwares:

1. MS Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
2. Visual studio 2008
3. Oracle(R) Enterprise Manager version 9.2.0.1.0
4. ArcGIS 9.1.2 with the Developer Kit
5. MS Office 2007

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Get a decent processor ~2.4GHz+ (Intel / AMD .. your pick) 2Gb+ RAM for the Applications to run decently. and 160 Gb Hard disk space should handle your requirements without a sweat.

and don't forget the keyboard, trackpad/mouse and the display. You may throw in a DVD drive if you feel like it. ;)
