Hi Tony,
I'm still using 12.04 - I thought it was supported for 5 years, so
there's another year to go. Also, I would expect a machine which runs
12.04 would manage 16.04 without too much trouble, and might be cheaper
as it has an older OS on it. There's not much else around at the £200 mark.

Hi Jim
I wouldn't by that one as one comment say it comes with 12.04 (which is out
of support) and you can't easily update it because of the driver for the
Realtek wifi card.
I would go for any other computer that will run 14.04 or 16.04 out of the
box, whether or not I had to overwrite the Windows on it. You don't save
much money by going for one with Ubuntu on it.

Does anyone know of a supplier of Ubuntu laptops who would accept payment
by cheque? I'm told eBuyer don't for this one:

Any alternatives in a similar price range (£200 after trade-in for this
one) would be appreciated too.
