I am considering purchase of a netbook for travel. In addition to checking email and web browsing, I would like to use it for backing up photos from camera memory cards and just browsing through those photos. I don't need to edit the photos.
Questions:
1. For just simply copying photos from an SD card to the hard drive for backup, I would guess this would be a mostly IO-bound task, that the processor doesn't really matter, and that a Netbook will be up to the task. Am I right here?
2. For viewing photos--15 MP JPGs or RAW files, will the Netbook CPU be up to the task? (Resizing the photos to fit the small screen, or generating and scrolling through thumbnails)
Thanks!
