I'd noticed the S130 coming up on searches as a cloudbook, but wasn't clear on it since it seems to be specced with a 14" screen in the Australian market. At least here, two CPU variants are available of which the better Pentium Silver N5000 (quad core) is reported to be quite capable for a low TDP processor. The dual core Celeron N4000 alternative I'd certainly have doubts about. Both share the same base clock frequency 1.1GHz.

You can bet your sweet life I got the Celeron model. It was £200 when I bought it, and down to £135 now. Mine has 64 GB storage, instead of 32.

Ha ha! Not too clever to play, but it sounds great recorded particularly the Steinway. I reckon it'll work equally well on the latest version. I'll try it out when I get half a mo!
The device is a 10 inch Lenovo Ideapad S130. It seems low spec, and I was a bit reluctant to buy; but I was surprised when I upgraded to full Windows 10. It is fast. Very.

Looks as though we cross-posted. I replied to your reply on the PianoWorld site. Did you see my questions--Is the update to Windows 10 the only change you made? (You mention an "upgrade," which is not usually the same thing as an update.) I don't mean to nitpick. My thought is just that people will need to know exactly what machine you have and your exact changes to replicate your result.

And could you post a video showing this working? Seems unnecessary, yes, but it would be nice to have.

What actual computer is this in reference to?

I posted this on Pianooworld, but there seemed little interest, which surprised me. A less than £200 Lenovo Windows 10
device (10 inch screen) can actually power PTq, and well.
Performance far exceeds my current Acer Aspire laptop; indeed, I cannot overload it.
If you're looking for an inexpensive, convenient system you could do far worse imo.

You can't do that on a Chromebook!

Hope this is useful to someone . . . .you never know.
