Hi Marcin, et al:
I have two laptops running Linux and EMC2. One is a Dell 5000e and the other
a Dell M50. Both were high-end laptops at the time of purchase, both have
standard parports and both are running strong today (the 5000e is eight

Thanks for the responses on EMC laptops. But surely there must be at least
one specific laptop that does work? Is there any success story out there at ALL

Dear Group,
Can someone point me to what brands of laptops have good compatibility with
LinuxCNC, and what distribution of Linux you would recommend? I'm looking
for a laptop, and want to make sure that it will work well with LinuxCAD for
an CNC acetylene torch table that we're building.
Thanks,
I haven't heard of any good stories using laptops. The parallel ports
seem to work on a lower voltage and laptops have a harder time
generating the pulses due to power saving, etc.
Perhaps I am wrong, but I would recommend using a desktop PC.

In general, laptops are not a good idea. Many of the inexpensive ones are
doing away with 'legacy' ports.
I would suggest, whatever you get, get one with a PCCard slot, and get a
PCCard that has a printer port on it.
Actually, I would want two of the cards, just in case one gets fried :(

I don't recall hearing about any that work well. You may be able to

I dont think this solution would work.
At least some of them are totally compatible, in that they look
