I second the System 76 recommendation. I have a 15" Gazelle Pro that's a few years old. I shopped around a lot, and was pleased with the base machine (a Clevo, this is my 3rd) and with the options and service System76 provides pre- and post-sale. My wife has a System76 Starling netbook that's well over five years old and still happily humming along. ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
