[Chester LUG] Recommended 'mini' laptop.

[Stuart Burns]

I agree, I have an NC10 and it is awesome. It is not one of the cheaper
ones, but on a positive note you can tell that it is better, ie construction
quality etc, and the battery life is around 5 -6 hours of light use. It
works out the box with the ubuntu remix edition, if that helps.

Regards

Stuart
