recommend a laptop for NinjaTrader

a laptop that'll be used to trade futures via NT-Zenfire
laptop for desk convenience not mobility

does it matter if it's an AMD or Intel chip ?

17" screen, price including XP Pro — under $1000 (?)
 
I can't recommend anything specific, but anything with horsepower AMD or Intel is fine. I have used NT on both. It's built on .net which is a resource hog so have 2 gigs of RAM min. Just get min. dual core with 2 gigs of RAM and you should be good to go.
 
ninja run fine on this one, the draw back is it comes with vista

The current release of Ninja Trader does not take advantage of 64 Bit technology, or additional RAM.

I believe the next release will.
 
thanks for your replies

what i've read is that sidebyside laptop - pc same spec test results yield
higher pc performance because of the laptop heat problems, components
can't run at their maximum, and i wasn't sure if i could use pc specs when
looking at laptop specs

the other matter is NT 7, but until it's up, running, debugged, stable and
knowing if and how it takes advantage of multicore processing plus Intel's
further development of its chips and possible price reductions, i'm reluctant
to commit to a new tho needed pc. i can buy a 'core i7' from a local builder
for C$1199 + XP + taxes and would also buy a monitor which doubles what
i'd pay for a laptop currently

so would would the 'Toshiba Satellite a350-st3601' for example be able to
take advantage of NT 7 ?
