Ken,

Most laptops should be fine. As far as I have seen, and experienced, the biggest problem are wireless cards.. And then only in 64bit mode, which I believe you want to use. Make sure the wireless card is in the hardware compattibility list. If not, then there are some other options like ndiswrapper, or even some commercially available software.

Good luck

Bas

Hi, I know I should have submitted this question to the laptop list, but I guess this is the most appropriate place to post it. I wish to buy a laptop that features and AMD64 processor and a nice 17inch view. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'll really appreciate your input. Thanks,

Regards

Ken
