I am planning to order an Asus Z71V. Basically it is centrino with a PCI Express video card (Nvidia as ATI has been spotty in the past). That may be overkill however.
At any rate there should not be too many problems as long as it has reasonably modern hardware. I have helped to install linux on a number of laptops recently. From a P4 based hp pavillion, to an older dell P3 700. All work reasonably well or better (the i815 video is not the greatest on the old dell, but it is good enough for non-3d use). --No trees were harmed in the transmission of this message, however a large number

I'm considering purchasing a laptop on which I'll be running Linux. Does anyone have any recommendations for a laptap? I don't need anything terribly spectacular since I'm not so much into the gaming and all that jazz. I just need something that will work with X. Any pointers/recommendations are welcome.I am not, however, in the market for a used laptop. -- William Astle finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for further information Geek Code V3.12: GCS/M/S d- s+:+ !a C++ UL++++$ P++ L+++ !E W++ !N w--- !D !M PS PE V-- Y+ PGP t+@ 5++ X !R tv+@ b+++@ !DI D?
