<pre class="k9mail">I have a friend who lives in Holland. He's going to be visiting Columbus in a <br />few weeks and would like to buy a new laptop while he's here. I've never <br />installed Ubuntu on a laptop so I'm not sure what to recommend. I've added <br />his specs below. Any suggestions for a good make and model and a local source?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Paul Dubuc<br /><br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">I am contemplating to buy a new laptop mainly for programming/work use with<br />the following specifications:<br /><br />Size: medium-large sized (no mini-notebook size) RAM: 4GB (does not need to<br />be more and preferably not lower than that) Processor: Dual-core of 2.5G+<br />(could be more but not necessary, depends on if it does not affect the<br />price too much) Harddisk space: 250GB+ (preferably more, but also depends<br />on the price)<br /><br />For the OS I wou!

to have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pre-installed. I'm not<br />sure if there much laptops with pre-installed linux versions though,<br />probably you'll need a computer-specific store for that. If that can't be<br />found then windows 8 is also ok, then I will install Ubuntu next to it<br />myself.<br /></blockquote><hr /><br />colug-432 mailing list<br />colug-432@colug.net<br /><a href="http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432">http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
