Hi Folks, My HP DV9000 is dying --- I've just had the grapchics chip resoldered for the second time, and now one of the hinges has gone. (both pretty standard problems with this model of laptop). But I can't seem to find a new laptop with 17" screen, 1680x1050 or better resolution on the market anywhere! Can anyone suggest something? It's got to run Linux (of course!), have a core Duo at 2GHz or better, have 2G or more RAM, VGA output, and a decent keyboard. Everything else is negotiable.
Most of the current generation 17" Asus, Lenovo, Dell and HP are 1600x900 only. (but they have 1680x1050 in 15.6" lappies, which is weird). Peter C -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
