The day job laptop

- 1 minutes read - 94 words… died. Display randomly quits. Just weeks after the warranty expired. Ugh. Spec’s for new one: 8+ GB RAM, quad core Intel, Nvidia graphics. So far, Dell has a 4500 workstation that looks good, and HP has a multimedia laptop that looks good. Anyone else I should look at? Need to run Linux, Windows 7. Mostly Linux. 64 bit. Long battery life (3+ hours) would be nice, this is what I have today. 1920x1200 display (what I have now) is also nice. Are Acer/Asus/Alienware good units? Brand name doesn’t matter. Performance, memory do matter.
