I'm in a budget right now so I'm looking for a laptop within the 25-35k range, but preferably within 25-30k. I've been checking out pccorner's site and found a few laptops with linux (linpus, first time I've heard of this) pre-installed on it. Anyone ever tried these laptops? Most of these are Acer.
I'm using a BenQ Joybook with Turion64x2 and its bundled with Linpus but Debian Etch and Ubuntu 7.04 run well along with suspend to ram in ubuntu. The unit does not need any binary firmware or non-free video drivers so its pretty good no-frills unit. It's not a beauty though and its quite big because of the 15" display. Unfortunately, I didn't buy this locally, but the cost would be around 40k. BenQ has a local presence too, but I'm not sure if they carry the models sporting AMD CPUs. -- Best, Jerome Gotangco _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
