PURCHASING A NEW PC or LAPTOP

Special Note:

This is a tip for users purchasing new hardware especially laptops for running OneCNC.

We are often asked what brand of PC or Laptop to purchase to run OneCNC.

Because the range and brands are so huge we recommend OneCNC be installed directly on to a memory stick to test and check first hand. This is quite easily installed by the normal installation method but selecting the memory stick for the place to install making it possible to test on various PC's.

This flexibility of testing gives the ability to take the memory stick with OneCNC installed together with your OneCNC dongle to the computer store and test the PC or laptop without the need to install the software on the PC.

Just plug the memory stick with OneCNC installed into 1 USB port and the dongle into another USB port on the PC log onto the memory stick and run the OneCNC_Start.exe application to test the PC using the sample files included in the samples directory.

Saving files and disk access will be slower using the memory stick however you will be able to easily test the graphics speed and functionality quite easily by this method.
