    I'm lookin for a laptop capable of running a cycle trainer with Tacx Trainer Version 4 advanced Software. The system requirements are as follows. I guess I'd like to hit something close to the Recommended requirements if possible.

    I've spent a few days checking out various specs, but as always it's a trade off. A heads up on a value solution would be appreciated. Budget 500-600 approx if possible.

    Cheers for help.

    Sound card: DirectSound compatible
    Various: 1 free USB port; DVD player
    Operating system: Vista SP2 or Windows 7 (32 Bit and 64 Bit-Version)

    Love how they cant even get a spec right. i3 is a dual and its 512MB not GB.

    Any reasons why it needs to be a laptop?

    Didn't notice the errors :D

    Looking at getting a laptop to replace an existing one that thats 5 years old. It'll be used as a general purpose machine as well as for this task.
