I finally have some spare cash and so am looking to replace my aged
IBM Thinkpad 390. All the sale flyers came in today's paper for
sales tomorrow and Saturday. I need some advice on which laptop to
get. I have looked around on Google, at linuxlaptops.com and such.
A lot of what I see is several years old and I could use some current
tips from people running linux on current machines.
I expect I will be doing some programming, some word-processing, a
little image manipulation, possibly a small amount of sound file
manipulation. I might also move my website maintenance from the
desktop to the laptop. I am not a gamer! This is probably not going
to be a "heavy load" machine, but I want something that will work
well for me and not give me any headaches. I have enough of those,
already.
These are what I am currently looking at:
Toshiba Satellite ($299.99 US)
Intel Celeron M 420
512 MB DDR2 RAM
80 GB HD
CD-RW/DVD
802.11 a/b/g
Where do you get these prices? I checked Newegg and for a TOSHIBA
Satellite A105-S2201 they want $690.
