<pre>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!
ld like
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>
