I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad E520 a couple of years ago.
If you can find the Dell Inspiron 9400 line of laptops these work well with Opensuse. The AMD x1400 video card works well with the community drivers. These machines were designed to be user serviceable. You can easily get at all the parts you need to, disk drive (no disassemble required), video card, wifi chipset, and memory. I've jacked mine up ti 6gig of memory and every part of the machine works as well or better than the original deliver of XP. (This machine ran XP for exactly 3 days, just long enough for my replacement hard drive to arrive. I was preserving my warranty, in case anything went wrong, and a new (bigger) drive was cheap insurance against a warranty denial due to replacing the OS.) There are a lot of these to be had, because they were so durable. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
