Hi
You should also consider the quality of the service you can get in Israel.
from rommers HP aren't so good
from personal experience IBM tends to be petty (for example if you have a
tiny crack in the case, they may refuse to fix a problem in the computer
unless you will also replace the case)
have fun

Hi All.
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I hope that people on the list
can share their experience with current laptops, specifically in regards
to Linux compatibility and reliability.
I'm interested in spending less money, but still get a brand with good
(preferably world-wide) support - otherwise I'd go with a good Thinkpad
which I know from experience is a great product, so currently I'm
looking at these brands:
HP Pavillon
Compaq Presario
Dell (whatever - can't make heads or tails of their brand names)
Also a couple related questions:
- Did anyone have any success in getting a brand laptop in Israel
without paying the "MS-Windows tax" ?
- Did anyone manage to get a Dell with Ubuntu installed ? From talking
to some Israeli sales reps that distribute Dell laptops I got mostly
"huh?!?"s.
Thanks in advance
