I actually have a laptop an acer 5420, but 2 inches of top of the screen is not working because i raged one time and well it still works but its pretty slow and messed up
some months it doesnt even turn on, sometimes it works flawlessly, but one things for sure, its on its last breath
I want a new laptop to play with linux, i know i dont need to buy a laptop just for this but thing is i want a new laptop, and i want to learn and play with linux
i already have a 700 dollar gaming pc with w7, i do not want to dual boot or do anything with it other than game
right now I am thinking 400-500 is a good price for a laptop with 4gb(is 2gb fine for linux?) and i dont care about the OS, but i would like a decent processor
Ill prob install fedora or ubuntu immediately. So things i will do
browse
youtube
possible movies, but ill be on my pc more than my laptop
learn linux
eventually become my work laptop so i want it to be light, easily portable, like at least 2 hours of battery with light use unplugged..my current laptop lasts 40 minutes so this is important. Also i want one that wont get uber hot and has non flimsy ultra cheap ugly design
any suggestions at all? thanks, i can wait for sales, but would prefer to buy it this month
feel free to suggest which linux distro's to try as well
here are some im looking at (im favoring the samsungs sexy design)
