Re: [PLUG] Linux laptop

I don't run linux on it, but the Dell Lattitude E5450 is a solid machine. My previous personal laptop was a Dell Lattitude D620 and I ran Ubuntu on it with little to no problems. Also the Lenovo Thinkpad 430 is also worth looking at.

I'll just add that even if you like macbook pros, right now is a
particularly bad time to buy one. They haven't been updated in almost
a year and a half. There are rumors that Apple may be announcing new
models as soon as the end of the month, but for now these are still
just rumors.
