Hello, i've decided to buy a new laptop. I'm looking for a small lightweight 12,1'' laptop based on a new Intel santa-rosa platform. I have 5 models. Acer TM6292 HP 2510p HP 2710p IBM x61 IBM x61 Tablet
The most important is linux compatibility which have HP (it certified to run SLED10) but its processor has poor performance (Intel ULV 1.02GHz)
Acer is a best choice but it does not compatible with Linux and its weight is aprox 2.0Kg. Im afraid that my Wireless and bluetooth buttons will not work
IBM did'nt have internal DVD (only through dock station)
any comments?
with best regards from Russia
Hi, not sure about the intel platform, especially a new one. If it were myself, I would steer clear for a while, just personal preference. . BUT, the main reason why I wrote was to tell you I have had great luck with both acer and toshiba laptops using 9.3 through 10.3. Everything works fine out of the box except when you have an atheros wireless chipset. This is easily fixed by downloading the madwifi package. If you have any type of computer store with display models available, I would suggest popping in a live cd to test it out before committing yourself. I mess around at circuit city all the time, if they want your hard earned $$, they wont mind.
