I am using Toshiba Portege M500 for the past 2 years - all Intel components, 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM, 12.1" display (not wide screen), very light and portable. Everything works out of box except bluetooth. I run Debian Lenny on it, so Ubuntu should work too. Currently on offer - INR 40,000 with 3 years international warranty. regards, Nishant Try the new Yahoo! India Homepage.
