[colug-432] What's a good laptop for Ubuntu?

[FiL Farris]

If I was looking for a laptop/PC for a friend, family member, or customer
the most important question after "whats the computers job(s)" is always
budget.

Knowing the budget helps to focus the vast market of models available and
find the best fit for your friends needs.   IMHO it is best to find the
models that fit the criteria and then check for *nix compatibility.   You
would think it would be the opposite with a free OS but many of the laptops
with linux pre-installed seem to cost more then comparable hardware with
licensed OS' s.

Josh already stated the best place IMHO for great deals on new hardware
locally and thats Micro Center.  Micro Center has loads of great laptops at
better then net prices and your friend can actually get hands on before
buying to ensure a good fit.
