DO NOT DO THIS:
— Do not get a Netbook/Ultrabook/Chromebook. Not enough power.
— Do not get a Lenovo we prefer. Recently users are finding many problems with Lenovo and its bloatware.
— Do not get Microsoft Office 64 bit. TQ7 will not run on 64 bits Excel.
— Do not install McAfee, Norton, Avast, AVG, Bit Defender. Many technical support issues we deal with relate to Norton, Bit Defender, AVG, Avast and McAfee programs blocking the download or installation of the BioExplorer setup file or Pocket Neurobics driver or causing lagging in BioExplorer performance.
— Do not use VMware (Parallels, etc.). It can be problematic with the amount of data sent through the COM ports from amplifiers. We cannot support Pocket Neurobics driver problems on machines that use virtual machines.
