Subject: Re: [ubuntu-in] Budget Laptop for Linux
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 recently on the newly purchased Toshiba
Satellite C660 laptop - i3 processor @ 2.53 GHz, 2GB ram, 320GB SATA,
15.6" (1366 x 768) LED screen, DVD Super multi drive, Webcam, Wireless,
etc. - approx 28K
Installation went smoothly - Network, wireless, webcam all recognized.
One driver (Graphics accelerator) had to be installed using "System
Settings -> Additional drivers". No issues here too. The device was
recognized, driver downloaded and activated.
Bluetooth has NOT been recognized / activated. Since I don't need it
right away, haven't worried about it too much.
Hope this information is useful

I am thinking of buying a Budget Laptop (About 25K INR, Not Netbook, so NO
Atom or similar). Towards that end, because I want it to be fully compatible
with Linux, was looking at Ubuntus page of supported/tested hardware
(http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/). I find that Lenovo and Dell have the
most models that are supposed to work well with Ubuntu. I assume broadly
that this is true of all Distos.
About a year or so back, some friends had pretty similar requirements
- an about 25 K full featured laptop. After quite a bit of
investigation and writing around we settled on the Lenovo B 450 Series
(specs below)
LENOVO NB B450-59029506 14.1” Intel Pentium Dual Core (2.10 GHZ)/1 GB
RAM DDR-II/160 GB HDD/Intel 5100 Agn (1*2)/ DVDRW Optical Drive
/6cellbattery /Bluetooth/Camera/Dos/1 Year Warranty
Cost is 24,500 + 5% VAT (Prices as in March 2010)
So to address your specs specifically yes
So these are my requirements:
1. Budget of 25K.
Yes
2. Atleast an Intel i3 or its AMD eqivalent. May go for Core2Duo if can't
find one in budget.
Yes
3. Good battery life of atleast 4or5 hours.
Decent battery - 3-4 hours
4. 3GB RAM atleast.
1 GB RAM (upgradeable)
5. Card Slot, Webcam, Bluetooth, Wifi.
Yes
6. Am looking at as light as possible in this budget, so if it comes with an
Optical drive to reduce size/weight, so be it.
Pretty light - and since its a 14.1" inch screen
7. Atleast 250GB HDD.
160 GB or for a price can be upgraded
8. Know to work with Debian/Ubuntu/Linux.
Have installed Ubuntu on it and it rocks - its been over a year since
we got these laptops and as yet there are no issues
The higher up version was
LENOVO NB B450-59029513 14.1” Intel Pentium Dual Core (2.10 GHZ)/2 GB
RAM DDR-II/320 GB HDD/Intel 5100 Agn (1*2)/ DVDRW Optical Drive
/6cellbattery /Bluetooth/Camera/Dos/1 Year Warranty
Cost is 27,000 +5% VAT
However am sure that these specs and prices have changed but am aware
that the B (and maybe G series) are still available.

ram
