I'm looking for a laptop that's compatible with Linux (again). I was hoping to obtain a few suggestions/opinions/ideas.
I'm debating about:
1) 13.3 v.s. 14.1 screen
2) Intel graphics v.s. Nvidia dedicated graphics (probably 8400M)
3) which brand and configuration
I suspect if I go for Intel Core 2 Duo cpu, Intel wireless and the graphics is a matter of preference (but, Intel graphics is easier to configure, I should be okay? Using Ubuntu?
For brands, I'm considering Dell, Lenovo Thinkpad T61, Asus and possibly, HP. I need to buy from a store (it's okay if I can order online but needs to be from a store) and budget is under 2K.
Is it better to get 2GB of RAM, best/fastest cpu I can afford, Intel wireless and either GPU card?
