Thread: Recommended laptops

-

hi all,

newbie subforum question: i'm looking recommendation low-cost laptop ubuntu pre-installed. bought low-end dell inspiron ~3 years ago ubuntu pre-installed. didn't have many problems, , i'd replace similar, dell sells windows systems. similar story @ gateway , newegg, , don't know else check. did find few boutique-looking places sell linux-based laptops, on $1000, whereas i'm looking $300-$400 range... web browsing, basic office, , simple media applications, without doing lot of work bring system state that's usable , stable.

able find ubuntu's certified hardware list, seemed populated models sold windows, , don't want pay if i'm not going use it.

able find "laptop compatibility" list, again, models "spot checked" on there either sold os, or not low-cost.

can give.

2 of laptops picked on craigslist. 1 of them owner didnt want because of bad virus infection , bought new one. got insp1525 75.00 .... blew away windows os , installed ubuntu.

within hour after getting home, had nice fresh-operating laptop. daughter still uses on year later 11.04

lots of equipment out there presumed junk. take advantage!!
