[ale] Recommendations for Linux-friendly Laptop (again)

[Hogg, Russell E]

Over the summer I bought the latest Inspiron 8200 from Dell's refurb site (dell.com/outlet I think).


This thing is a horse, I think the native resolution is 1600x1200 and redhat8 went on without a single problem.  I had been warned that I might need to find display drivers but even that wasn't necessary.

Believe it's a 1.7 Ghz with 256 Meg of RAM expandable to a GIG.  It's a desktop replacement and so has everything you could ever want onboard.

I feel like I got a good deal on it because I got around 800 dollars off by going refurbished, but I still paid 2400 dollars.  So I wouldn't qualify it as cheap.

Yes, another linux laptop question.


I'm looking for a laptop in which I can sacrifice some processing power
for a larger display, as I'll often be using it for a remote display into
another more powerful machine.  I'd like to keep the price as low as
possible.  Any recommendations?


Requirements:
LARGE display
Good range of resolutions from video card
Affordable
Linux-compatible hardware


Thanks,


John
