[PLUG] Laptop Recommendations
|
Hello all,
I'm looking to purchase a new laptop, probably within the next week,
and I wanted to get an idea what the PLUG users recommended. I plan to
purchase a mid-range laptop, spending around $1,500.00, for both work
and school. I realize almost all laptops come bundled with WinXP now
(aside from Apple) but that's not a problem as work requires me to use
WinXP anyway. However, I have to be able to install Linux as well! And,
I don't want to purchase a laptop without first identifying whether or
not I can install Linux without too much trouble--driver issues.
As an example, I was looking at the Toshiba Satellite notebooks--the
2415-S205 notebook or even the 2435-S255 notebook. I've also looked at
the Gateway 400XL notebook and the Sony VAIO PCG-GRZ610.
I've searched through linux-laptop.net and Tom's Hardware for recent
reviews--with respect to Linux installation--but I haven't been able to
find anything related to newer laptops. I was hoping the people on this
list could suggest a laptop without driver issues.
Thanks!
Chris Shanahan
