Linux Laptop Competency

Penetration Testing Information Gathering
1

I’ve been looking at some laptops with linux preinstalled, specifically Starlite mk III:

1.1GHz quad-core Intel® Pentium® N5000,
Burst up to 2.7GHz, with 4MB Cache
240GB Over-Provisioned SATA SSD
8GB of 2400MHz LPDDR4 onboard memory

My main concern is, is it enough to use it as my main driver for pen testing etc…
I will not be using it for leisure, just strictly “ethical hacking” to say the least.

Sounds like it will work!

The only thing I can think of is things that use your GFX-card for processingpower and that a smaller specced laptop may struggle with those parts. However, it should work to crack hashes etc also but just not as fast as something with a OMGROFLCOPTER Nvidia card :wink:
