Hello All,
I am planning to buy a laptop for my general usage (no gaming).
Usage: Internet browsing, reading documents, creating documents, watching
movies, listening music etc.
Some bit of programming (on Linux, of course)
OS : Ubuntu (11.10 or 12.04) and Windows, dual boot (if Windows not
available, perfectly fine).
Screen Size: Prefer 15” but, if it costs lesser to own 14", I can think of
that.
Budget: Around Rs. 25,000 (The lower the better). Saw Raj's response to one
email mentioning HP costing around Rs. 34,000. I am just looking for around
Rs. 10,000 cheaper.
RAM/Processor/Graphics card: Will not be playing any graphic intensive
game, just want a decent to good performance (don’t want to pay extra for
“awesome” graphics). Intel i3 with 2GB RAM is what I am thinking about,
and am not averse to AMD.
Extra features: Webcam, Bluetooth, microphone should work with Ubuntu, good
speakers with loud enough sound.
Not sure, can individual parts being not costly (repair/upgrade) be a
criterion for buying one ?
I have no brand preference, looking for value for money. Just want Ubuntu
and hardware liking each other. Do not want it to be outdated for at least
another 5-6 years (possible :) ?).
My current laptop gets heated at around the touch pad, so don't want new
one to become hot over a period of use.
Another thought, can an Android tablet (costing not more than Rs 20K),
replace a laptop which serves above mentioned requirement? If yes, any
suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vikas
