Hi, I also looking for new laptop, I checked few laptops about the linux support and i asked at whatsup about the dell inpiron 6400, the laptop i will probably buy, here is the thread: http://www.whatsup.co.il/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=251575 this dell is at reasonable price and with good performance, I read a reviews about it and I like it, It's great to my needs. about the ibm thinkpad, all of the series known as great laptops, comfortable to use and very massive computers. if you have the budget, go for it, about the linux support i'm not sure. asaf.

Hi All. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I hope that people on the list can share their experience with current laptops, specifically in regards to Linux compatibility and reliability. I'm interested in spending less money, but still get a brand with good (preferably world-wide) support - otherwise I'd go with a good Thinkpad which I know from experience is a great product, so currently I'm looking at these brands: HP Pavillon Compaq Presario Dell (whatever - can't make heads or tails of their brand names) Also a couple related questions: - Did anyone have any success in getting a brand laptop in Israel without paying the "MS-Windows tax" ? - Did anyone manage to get a Dell with Ubuntu installed ? From talking to some Israeli sales reps that distribute Dell laptops I got mostly "huh?!?"s.
