Hi folks, I'm on the lookout for a laptop for work which I can dual boot with Vista & Ubuntu. I'm not fussed if it's an AMD or Intel based laptop but I would like something with at least 1GB memory, an 80GB or higher hard drive and a dual core CPU.
I just wondered if anyone could suggest such a laptop? I was looking at the eSystem notebook at £279 from PC World with the 13" screen but unfortunately it's not very well supported on Ubuntu. Other options I was thinking of was the Acer Aspire 2920 with a 12.1" screen or some of the HP Turion based notebooks at around £350. The most I can really afford is about £375 although I could stretch to £400 if it's got a smaller screen (I'd really like something with a 12" to 14" screen so it's easier to lug around) or a quicker CPU etc. Just wondered if anyone knew of anything around at the moment that would come close? I did have a look at Novatech's site, they seem pretty good at £300 without an OS but I wasn't sure about the on board SIS video card and if it is well supported or not on Linux? (in a case of a notebook without OS, I could get an OEM copy of Vista separately). Unfortunately Vista is going to be a requirement as I have to support it at the sites I'm covering.
