Ye Olde Laptop has served pretty well, but is showing signs of aging. The
microphone stopped working. The LCD flickers at odd times and in an odd
manner. I am in dire need of a larger HD. A faster processor would be
nice. You get the picture.
So.....given that I (am required to) run NT for work, but have partitions
for Linux and BeOS for fun.....I am in need of your suggestions for a
replacement laptop.
Money is no object (since my employer is buying) ;-)
The key is hardware compatibility. The NeoMagic video wasn't supported when
I got this laptop, but now is. The ESS 1888 audio took a while to figure
out, but is SB Pro compatible and works when the IRQ, DMA, and I/O settings
are nailed down. So I hate to give the old girl up, but....progress.
Has anyone purchase a NEW laptop recently which was 100% hardware compatible
with Linux ? Feel free to reply on or off the list.
