    I thought broadcom "suddenly" woke up and opensourced at some point? Or am I wrong?

    Acer Aspire 5560G/7560G have pretty good Linux support (just don't forget to install latest BIOS that include fixes for Linux support). The only thing you need to do - disable discrete GPU in BIOS to increase battery life (more than 2 hours).

    For example, here's a Llano laptop from Asus for 400e, with freedos: http://geizhals.at/eu/746225
    Thank you the website ! I didn't knew about it

    PS : I have already bought a laptop, for 150? I bought one Asus G1S. That can do for now I think ^_^. I will save the link, never knows if I need it in the future .

    Once again, thank's a lot for you help ! I just have one last question concerning this website. The keyboard are german or we can choose ?

    Thanks in Advance

    I don't have any exact model to recommend, though. Check reviews on available laptops for battery life, etc.
    Thank you for your help ! But do you know any manufacturer that sell computers (even in second-hand) but without any OS or with Linux ? I really don't want to pay for a Windows Licence :S

    PS : Just to know If I am right.... Trinity is the A4, A6 and A10 APU from ATI right ?

    I only had bad experiencies with ATI GPU's, even with opensource drivers, but It is not a problem to me to give ti a try again . Is there any especific model you think it is great under the requiremente I need ?
