Hi
I checked the archives before posting and couldn't find anything related.
�
I want to know what are the best specifications for a laptop in order to run Stata with a big dataset, that keeps growing.� I am not doing a lot of statistical simualtions, but from time to time need to run some marginal effects for logits/ probits and�when I RESHAPE some of the databases, it takes over 20 minutes in my current laptop (over 3 years old).
�
One of the main issues i am facing in my current laptop, is that if keeping other applications running (excel, or outlook) makes stata to fail to save files back in my hardisk
�
Laptop is important because I telecomute and mobility is a plus.� I guess the question can be framed as what is more important RAM versus proccessor speed?� Or AMD versus Intel processors?� Speed of hard disk?
�
is there any other configuration specification that I am overlooking?
�
I you have bought a new laptop recently to run stata, i appreciate if you can let me know the particular specs and budget
�
thanks
�
Adrian
