Re: Laptop recommendation
While TP are well known for good battery performance and solid
hardware crafting (but Lenovo may level the niveau now, probably
even IBM would have been urged to do so), many people are looking
for a desktop replacement which mostly is on main power and has
good multimedia capabilities, and a wide screen. Ideally, something
in the way of a Apple Powerbook....
It's no bad idea to also look up what machines are shipped with
preinstalled Linux. For example, http://www.emperorlinux.com/ offers
Thinkpads, Dell Latitude, Sony Vaio, and Sharp Actius; some of these
with WUXGA (1920x1200) wide screen. I'd recommend a dual-core
CPU in any case, if only because they produce less heat and should be
more quiet, under comparable load. Tuxmobil maintains lists at
http://tuxmobil.org/reseller.html and
http://tuxmobil.org/laptop_manufacturer.html
(some links are obsolete as it's a rapid marked anyway).
Rather icky seemed to be, at least in the past, Acer for their
special BIOS features, perhaps someone can confirm that.
