OT: Laptop for College Bound Student?
The college is offering packages starting at $1,399 (Dell Latitude D630)
and $1,499 (Lenoveo ThinkPad T61) all with 2GB memory, 10/100/1000
Ethernet, Wireless, 1394 Port, Bluetooth, Vista 32Bit Business OS,
SmartCare/4in1 Media Card Reader and Microsoft Office 2007 Professional
pre-installed by certified technicians located on campus. Three year
warranty and 1GB Flash Drive thrown in.
Money is tight, of course. If I were the student and there is a
modest-priced laptop with Debian and OpenOffice I'd take it in a flash.
I'm not the student, I'm his 79 year old grandfather and I don't want
him to start off at a disadvantage. There are certainly many college
students and recent grads that subscribe to this list. I would value
your insights.
Tom
