I'm in the process of choosing which laptop  to purchase.

I want a unit that will play dvd movies and am wondering what the minimum CPU reqd would be.

Most of the units that I'm considering have Celeron M processors.

Would a Celeron M 350 1.3 ghz with shared 64 mb Graphics - with at least 512k ram but probably 1gb ram - be suitable?

I'll be running Debian in one form or another - a LiveCD - HD installed - distro such as Kanotix or Kubuntu.

Googling for info on laptops/cpus etc failed to find such info, and magazine reviews seem only to deal with Games or business applications, unless the reviews are for high-end machine. I'm looking to spend around $1500 max, preferably less.

Links/advice appreciated.

Bill
