Hello I hope that is not OT for this list. Basically I'm on the hunt for a newish laptop on which I naturally want to run Debian. I'm a student and I spend most of my daily outandabout computer time reading pdfs, writing LaTeX docs, surfing and doing some light coding, no heavy duty stuff in other words. I use i3vm and I generally like to keep things as light and minimal as feasibly possible.
I really value light weight and good battery life and my upper bound on prize is somewhere around 875$ (~7K SEK). Memory should be greater than or equal to 2GB and an sdd would be nice. I know very little about hardware and I'm not quite sure where or how to start looking. I though the Lenovo Thinkpad 13 looked promising but it's a bit over my price target. Could chromeboosk be something to look into? I know the older thinkpads has good debian support but if I remember correctly they are also very heavy. As a small reference: I made due with a Asus EEE PC 1005HA for a number of years and it generally worked well for my purposes but it died and surfing was a pain so I'm looking to upgrade a bit from that. Any suggestions? Best regards -- Jonas Hedman PGP: 8F72 C5BE AAFA B4BA 8F46 9185 5C39 89E0 616B B08C
