[Gloucs] Laptop Suggestions

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

I suspect that your stated spec may not be covered but I have bought my
IBM laptops second hand from these people:

I have, so far, been very please with the results etc... But with the drop
in prices recently I suspect you may be better off buying new...

> My basic spec is:
>
> CPU: must be dual core, 1.8GHz or better
> RAM: 2GB or more
> HDD: 120GB or more
> Screen: 15.4" widescreen
> Graphics: Preferably Intel or ATI [1]
> Wireless: Preferably not Broadcom [1]
> Optical drive: DVD +/- RW
>
> [1] I want to dual boot Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and despite plenty of
> workarounds, these have always caused me the biggest headache.
>
> I've seen a Lenovo R61 with most of  my requirements, but with an nVidia
> graphics card, for £523, so I'm working on that being my budget.
>
> Can anyone suggest other makes and models that might be worth looking
> at. Or suggest a comparison site that would provide help hints as to
> what alternatives there are out there.
