This laptop runs about 1000-1200. This is with the 1600x900 mate display, 128GB SSD, 6 GB RAM, intel wifi and dell blue tooth.
As people are discussion real quality systems for running linux I wanted to point out this not so advertised model. It has an 8 hour battery. A very high quality keyboard. reasonable track pad and pointing stick. The display is reasonable quality. It is mate but not ips. I have found it totally workable. I have not had any device problems so far with ubuntu. I am also running windows 7. Will be moving to a Linux with win 7 in virtual box as the linux side is more tested. Ubuntu has been more stable on this laptop then my desktop at home. Both running latest 13.04. Insides of the device are great. Battery is removable. Then miniSata for drive, memory, wifi, and bluetooth cards are all accessible with two screws. It is a mid weight box. But I am happy to trade the weight for the access and repairable laptop. I do not have the Wi Gig card or wireless dock. Sorry can't help you there. Dell win 7 install is very reasonable but with office and apps it is around 40GB. Slightly problematic. My goal is to run the win 7 from the partition it is on in virtual box and natively. It looks like this is possible. Happy to update anyone who is interested in that attempt directly. All FN buttons and audio controls are working right now. I have a few more items to test. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
