1) Why android, over say Linux? Android is meant for tablets and phones. There are some laptop varients, but they aren't really that well supported.
2) By PC you definitely mean one that sits on your desk at home?
The answers will help with the answers we give you

2) First. PC on my desk at home.
1) I want to be able to run 4 perl scripts on my phone (android os) (when I'm abroad) on a daily basis and then transfer the results to my PC.
2) I also want to be able to run a couple of android apps on my PC (Modbro I've tried this on my phone and it's very useful when abroad. Showbox, I've heard this is good too but I'm wary of putting it on my phone tbh)
I wrote the perl scripts myself but I think I could manage to rewrite them in a different script language if it were more appropriate.

You could partition 1 drive between the two operating systems - it shouldn't really cause any problems.
With the perl scripts though surely you'd be able to run that in Windows?

This looks a good deal on the old black Friday in the UK. Don't know if the tech is any good though

Gotcha on the partition thingee.
I presume it would mean I'd have to reinstall the windows os or am I wrong.
I need perl or some other script language to run on my android phone when I'm abroad.

I think you can resize the partition that windows is on within windows. However I'm not sure that phoenix os would have a boot selector installer with it. You might be better off running it off a usb drive instead.

See that for more detail.

First install on a usb stick worked grand except for the language, my Chinese isn't great.
Will pay more attention next time.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
And questions, they made me think a bit more about what I want to do.
It is an upgrade option in BMW's this past number of years, plus they do a lot of PC speakers, didn't know they did home cinema stuff as well.TerenureJim wrote:FLIP wrote:TerenureJim wrote:Thinking of upgrading the home cinema experience, anyone got any Bluray and 5.1 speakers system recommendations?

Yeah have to admit ignorance on that brand although based on a quick wiki seems it was big for audiophiles in the 70's
There is always this type of system without the whole amplifier setTerenureJim wrote:Thinking of upgrading the home cinema experience, anyone got any Bluray and 5.1 speakers system recommendations?
