Asus has great laptop hardware, support, and protection plans available. They tend to be very Linux friendly and some models are available with Linux installed, last I knew, or maybe just with no OS. The current ASUS website does not lend itself to figuring this out, or figuring out which model is for you.
Though, I'm not sure about the touch of their new keyboards (like new macbooks), but I have not used it much. To each his own, so worth playing with. Also, you will probably want to check for the model on http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ before you buy anything. _______________ Alan Johnson a...@datdec.com On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Bill Freeman <ke1g...@gmail.com> wrote: > My Acer is scaring me.
