I have a Samsung NP145 notebook I was wondering if this small computer would be OK to run Cumulus program with a Vantage Vue with a Davis Data logger. Not being very computer savvy, I thought I would put it to the experts in the world of weather???

Re: Samsung NP145
I thought someone might have replied by now. I can't say for certain that Cumulus would run on that particular notebook, but it's requirements aren't high, and I know that a number of people are running it on various notebooks, so I would think there's a good chance.

Re: Samsung NP145
Thanks for the reply Steve, I have Google d the specs and they tell me that in "storage" 160 GB on the hard drive and in memory there is 1 GB.
does these figures make any sense and will there be enough to run Cumulus.
Cheers

Re: Samsung NP145
Brian, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Netbook, which appears to be quite similar to the Samsung N145 Netbook.
The operating software/system on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Netbook is Windows XP - it appears Windows 7 Starter might be the operating software/system on your Samsung N145 Netbook.
Although I would not run would not run software on a continuous basis on my netbook (ie: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year - unless some powerful external ventilation was added to the netbook as netbooks have a serious tendency to overheat), I have successfully run both Cumulus and Weather Display weather software on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Netbook.
If, as I have read on the Internet, Windows 7 is the Samsung N145 Netbook operating software/system, remember that any weather software has to be installed in the root directory of the hard drive.

Re: Samsung NP145
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your info, I am not computer savvy as I said previously I have had Cumulus working perfectly on my office computer without any problems thanks to Steve's help and also Brisbaneliveweather who help me a lot here in Australia.
So I am a bit dubious to shutting down the reliable computer until I get all my ducks in a row.
Do you have any photo's of your sensors on your property Rob.
My is situated on top of a three storey resort not far from Surfers paradise and is located in Mermaid Beach, i also have my weather site on our website under the location banner at www.montegosandsresort.com.au take a look and you will see that I am about 80 meters from the beach.
Cheers

I think Ray down the road from me (Cheadlehulmeweather) runs his Cumulus 24x7 on a Samsung netbook NC10 and has done so for a couple of years.

Re: Samsung NP145
160Gb hard drive is easily enough, and 1GB Ram isn't a problem as far as Cumulus is concerned (it normally uses well under 100MB), but I wonder how well Windows 7 runs with that amount of memory?

Re: Samsung NP145
I would like to thank all those who have advised me re this Samsung, I have also received a phone call from Dan at Brisbaneliveweather, very much appreciated.
I spoke to a computer expert in the shopping center and he did not have a clue as to what I was talking about, so its better to ask the experts on this forum.
