I would like to know who uses Poser on a laptop/notebook/mobile PC. And if you do uses either of the said items, what sort of model laptops did you guys used? Thanks in advance for looking and for answering :)

...well, I use P5 (and a bunch of other 3d software) on a HP zd7000 which I love for 2d and 3d graphics and animation stuff. It's a 'desktop replacement' laptop with widescreen which really comes in handy for displaying toolbars and the such without haviing to make your workspace size suffer. I'd stay away from HP laptops if you do any 'serious' music stuff, though. It's fine for what most people do, but there are some fundamental flaws in HP laptops that cause problems with some music software AND hardware. I can post a link with details if ya like. If you don't do any serious music work then you'd never know the problems exist. But it's a terrific machine for graphics.

2 year old Medion/Microstar P4 2.53GHz, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HDD. Also run Shade 7

I us ePoser 5 on an IBM Thinkpad R40, 1.8 GHz, 640 MB Ram, 20 GB HD (+ a 120 GB External HD).

I use Poser on a 12" Mac G4 powerbook, 867 MHz and 640 MB Ram, now about 18 months old. Poser gives it a workout: the fan's running and it's warm. There's the occasional crash, but it's usually when I've fiddled with the file too often, tweaking poses, swapping clothing in and out and not deleting unattached simulations.

I use Poser4, (the biggest file hog of them all) on my little old, dell laptop that has no more than 5gigs on it. and now that I have V3 and M3 I really have pushed Poser and my little machine, to it's limits.

I use P5 on a lil ole G3 ibook with 640 gigs of ram...... Poser itself runs from an external drive (simply because I have a massively huge runtime that I didn't want to clutter my drive with) but it runs with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes a lil slow, and sometimes my puter does get a lil warm and the fan kicks on, but other than that, its all good! :D

I use Poser 4, and many other 3D programs on a Dell Inspiron 1100 with 384M Ram and a 20G hard drive. A 2.4GHz processor. Win XP Home with SP2. I have DAZStudio, Cult3D, GMAX, Extreme Morph 3D, Mat Pose Edit 3, Natural Pose 2.1, Wings 3D, Blender, POV Ray, ppModeler, Terragen, Strata 3D, and Truspace. I have not had any problems with any of them. I tried Maya PE but it was just slow.

I do everything on a 1998 G3 Powerbook -- surprised the heck out of me that P5 actually ran, clothroom and all. But mostly I'm in Poser4, and back in the old pre-X operating system. Oh....Wingz was kinda slow. (And renders are, of course......)

I've got an 18 month old Toshiba Satellite, 2 GHz Intel Celeron, 1 Gb ram, and use both P5 and Shade 7, with little problem even with Poser on an external drive.
