Hi,<br>
<br>
I walked in to PCWorld, Mansfield and saw the spec on my Compaq (a.k.a. 'HP') Laptop (model: CQ60-32SA) which is 64bit AMD, nvidia graphics, 4GB memory and other stuff...<br>
<br>
I told them I wasn't needing Windoze so they struck off the software support on my receipt (well thanks tech guys - I suppose you aren't up to the task).<br>
<br>
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit running all my forensic applications like a dream - brilliant!<br>
<br>
As a bonus, the webcam works, the wireless works, compiz works; in short, <double negative> nothing doesn't work </double negative>.<br>
<br>
Footnote: I asked Microsoft for a refund - 6 months later and constant pestering later, no reply. Maybe because I have a licensed VM running from the same IP address??<br><font color="#888888">

<pre>Hi Folks,
I am planning to get a new 64-bit laptop (prefer NVDIA graphics) and
run ubuntu. What makes would you suggest? I prefer HP and Dell
(have an XPS 1330 running lucid lynx) and have had experience with
Acer (mixed) and Toshiba (not so good).
Any suggestions?
thanks
stripes
