My department got a netbook last spring and I was able to use it to demonstrate factor analysis, logistic regression, and .....something else with data sets of <200 cases.

No problems with SPSS with the modestly sized data sets.

For me the biggest issue was that the room layout wasn't very good for running a demo.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had ever tried running SPSS on a netbook? My department has just purchased an Asus EEE to be used for presentations/lectures etc. I am wondering if it is worth trying to install SPSS on there to see if I can use it for my workshops and lectures, which will save me having to bring in my own laptop to work each time I need it.

It is model 1005P which has an Intel Atom N450 processor (512K cache, 1.66GHz) and 1GB RAM, and will be running Windows 7 Starter.

Initially I wouldn't be running very intensive analyses on it, rather introductory topics like compute, recode, IF, split file, merging, creating/editing pivot tables, creating/editing graphs. Later in the year I would be starting on statistical topics like crosstabs, t-tests, 2-way RM ANOVAs, small linear/logistic regressions. All will be on small data files.

Comments on the web are mixed. Some people appear to be running basic SPSS things fairly successfully, though a bit slower of course than on their desktops. I am most concerned about the graphics-related tasks - eg, opening up a graph editor, output screen refreshing with new output.

Does anyone have any experience to add?

Thanks, Kylie.
