Looking to purchase a pico from Tom soon.
Thanks for all the help thus far Tom.

I searched and didn't spot the answer on the forum, thought this could help someone later.

How well can I expect the software to perform on my laptop with these specs:
Intel Pentium CPU (2127U) 1.9ghz
4 gb ram
Windows 8.1

It got it around xmas time, was only $300 but, now I am wondering if I should have gotten something other than the cheapest laptop out there?

I see its recommended to have a minimum of 2ghz processor...

Jon,

I think you will be fine with that and PicoScope.  Windows 8 has been a pretty useless OS for us with may other apps and functions but it works fine with Pico.  We retired it from other duties and got a real PC with Windows 7 Pro for all the other business.

I bought 2 new laptops recently, a Toshiba for at home, and an HP for work. Both are 15" touch screens
running Windows 8.0, have 4Gb RAM, yadda, yadda, yadda. Pico scope runs very nicely on both, The HP at work has Auto Enginuity on it also, works very nice.
If you have a touch screen Windows 8 is a worthwhile thing, No touchscreen run Windows 7. The basic system underneath is the same. -Ward-
