What spec laptop do I need to run iTunes??

[sta99y]

Hi all, recently got apple tv, airport express and a dock speaker with AUX, I now need to get a 2nd hand laptop as Mrs sta99y is not happy I use hers.

So I need a laptop/notebook with good wireless wifi, cd drive, 80gb hard drive... What RAM or operating system do I need. I don't need anything fancy or expensive to run iTunes and to stream do I?

It's purpose will be to run iTunes, stream to apple tv etc... And the odd email.

Anyone have an idea or a link

How much do you want to spend?

Tbh John no idea, maybe £100 or less. 80gb is enough for storage the rest is basic I guess. Will I need 802.11N wireless or is 802.11g ok? What is the difference?

'n' is faster and more reliable than 'g', and you'll probably need it if you want to stream video. Even that may not be enough...

Let me have a look at what you can get on the 'bay.

Not so worried about video streaming, it's just to stream my tunes.
