This laptop is for my daugheter who is a freshman at SDSU.
She is a small woman, not quite 5 feet tall, so she wants
a light weight laptop and the X series only weighs 3.6 lbs.
Anyone care to suggest another lightweight laptop that
would be a good linux box?
As much as I approve the idea of her being only on Linux, it's not
really practical at SDSU. Even with my MacBook Pro, I occasionally bump
into something that I need to fire up XP via VMWare to deal with.
I normally don't wade into stuff like this, but I'm really going to
recommend that you spend the money for a Core 2 Duo mumblesomething. I
think the low-end Apple portables would probably fit the bill.
The perceived jump in performance to a dual processor from a single
processor is quite large. The interactive responsiveness of a dual core
is system is *much* better than single.
