[ale] Linux on new laptops

[Dow_Hurst]

Chris,
Why don't you post us what your looking for?  Do you need low weight?  Accelerated graphics?  Big screen or long battery life?  Many of the requirements you might have would affect what you should look for.  I would think that low price might be your deciding factor since the price must stay under $1000.  The Compal I have now would come in its default configuration for $1100.  I required low weight and Nvidia graphics, everything else was secondary. If you could spend some more money on it, you could really do well.  Look at www.dynamism.com for some really long battery life and low weight laptops that are very cutting edge with no guarantees on the Linux side.  Have you already bought something?
Thanks,
Dow

Subject: [ale] Linux on new laptops

I'm in the market for a new laptop.  I'm looking for something that is <
$1000 and it must run Linux.  I would like to know if anyone here can
recommend a recent model that works well.  I thought about buying a Mac
but I program in Linux and I need to run Linux.
