I am about to buy a new laptop and after searching a couple of different
brands I came across the Acer TravelMate 800 series which has most of
the features I am looking for. Has anyone on this list got any
experience with this laptop? I am planing to install Debian on it as I have done on the laptop I am using at the moment. I checked mobilix and linux-on-laptops and it seems that most of the hardware works fine under linux. I am a bit suspicious with the price since this is by far the cheapest laptop with these specs I could find. The next one up is almost �500 more expensive... (at least in the uk...)
Otherwise, suggestions for laptops with similar specs (centrino 1.7GHz, 512 Mb (or more)ram, large disk > 40Gb well supported graphics chip, not too heavy, relatively long battery time... ) would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Luis
