One more question - the laptop I buy will have webcam and audio built in.
Will there be any problem with drivers?
Not with any laptops I've used, but they've all been Dell.
I can't speak for any other manufacturer's offerings, but audio and webcam
types are fairly well covered in Linux these days.
BTW, there is a potential issue with new Laptops that come with Windows 8;
try
'Linux UEFI' in Google to get a flavour of the problem. There are
workarounds, but it might be better to avoid the issue and get an older
model
that still retails with W7 on it. I know Staples and PC World have still
got
stock and there are still plenty available online.
