Hi I am looking at purchasing a new laptop one that is Linux compatible I
want a laptop. My main thing I am looking for is battery support I would
like to get a laptop that that can run off of battery for at least 3-4
hours. I know HP has the nx5000 what comes with Suse 9.1 installed all
ready. I am looking with a laptop with at least the following specs. If
any one has some suggestions I would appreciate it. I am looking for a
laptop that priced less than 1500 but if its a bit more then I would spend
the extra money for a good laptop.
1.5 G or faster
40 G Hard Drive
DVD burner
And 15 inch display
64MB video card either ATI or NvidiaThank

I've loaded SuSE Linux 9.2 Pro on a Toshiba Satellite A60 with no problems
that already had XP factory loaded. Did a nice job partitioning and uses
GRUB. Touchpad works fine. It meets all of your specs plus some. There's
a range of these from which to choose.
Here's one with 60 Gb HDD, DVD-RW & 15" TFT at £638.61 (£750.37 with UK VAT).

Although it's in the UK, this will give you a sense of what I have and am
using. I like it. Do a Google search for it to find US vendors.
