I wan to purchase a relativly cheap laptop just to run SQL server 2012 Developer addition with Microsft Excel and Powerpivot. I have come across a lap top (spec below) that i can get but was concerned because the Processor type an Intel Celeron Was not on the list of recommended Processors which are as follows: x64 Processor: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support
Processor Intel Celeron Dual Core 1.6GHz Memory 4GB RAM Hard Drive 320GB Display Size 15.6 inch LED (1366X768) Graphics chipset Integrated Video Card Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Can anyone provide any advise on whether this laptop will support SQL server 2012 Developer addition?
