Looking for some information on the best netbook to get for work related stuff. All it will be required to do is run Dragon Dictate and copy word docs/excel to a usb/ connect to wifi to send emails.

No surfing or streaming.

Have spotted a couple of suitable machines which I think may run Dragon however I want to make sure the specifications will run Dragon.

System requirements from Dragon are
-RAM: Minimum 2GB for 32 bit windows, 4GB for 64 bit windows 7,8,8.1 and windows server 2008 r2 windows server 2012
-CPU: Minimum 2.2GHz intel dual core or equivalent AMD processor
-Free hard disk space 4GB

Any techie guys got any tips?

Thanks in advance.

A netbook is a low powered smaller screen laptop. I have had lots of customers buy them over the years and almost without fail they are replaced within 2 years as they are too low powered.

You would be better off getting a proper low end laptop, look at GB72's recent laptop thread, I posted a link to an Intel I3 cup laptop for under £300.

Dragon is a reasonably hungry bit of software, so you will need something half decent to run it.
