[Sussex] Laptop choice

[Ronan Chilvers]

Hi folks

Well, my trusty Dell Latitude LS seems to be on its last legs (hence no gpg
sig on this email).  HDD errors, strange freezes, etc, which accounts for
some of the odd crashes that have been happening lately.

So, I'm looking for a new laptop.  Been looking at things like the Dell
Inspiron 9300 which apparently works great with Ubuntu.  I've had a good
flick through the linux-on-laptops site, but was wondering whether anyone
has any mega-success stories with laptops that they want to share?!!?

I'm after a light, compact notebook style laptop, that I can carry about all
over the place without needing muscles like Arnie.  Battery life doesn't
have to be great. Good screen is important (15 inch or larger).  It also
needs to be pretty durable as I'm a clumsy oaf and tend to throw my laptop
bag around more than is strictly necessary!?!?!!

Any thoughts appreciated.

Cheers

Ronan
