When I'm at home and I want to shoot tethered I shoot into Lightroom on my iMac.
But when I go out, I don't want to carry my 27" iMac. I was thinking of getting a MacBook, but when I stop and think about it, I just can't justify spending that much on something I don't do very often.
So that started me thinking about maybe just getting a cheap laptop of some sort, just to use to shoot tethered into. However I have to say, I haven't used anything from Microsoft in well over a decade. I don't have the slightest idea of what the minimum requirements might be to be able to do this. I did a quick look on Amazon, and it looks like you can get some laptops from $100-300. If I got one of those, would I be able to use that for shooting tethered into Lightroom. I basically wouldn't use this laptop for anything else, as I can't deal with windows. I'd just use it for tethering. But would something this cheap be useable?
I have the Adobe photographers creative cloud thing, so if I did get a laptop, would I just be able to download Lightroom into it free?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.
