Personally I prefer smaller lighter laptops, and wouldn't look at a 15"
again. I plug in to a large monitor at home. The laptop above looks
like the best of all worlds though, except perhaps price. What's your
budget? A smaller screen is good for battery life too though. I use a
2.5 year old Lenovo X220, which still stacks up pretty well. Not quite
as light as the above, but much better battery life, and you can pick
one up for about $400 on ebay.

Something like the LENOVO B590 or E540 might be a good place to start
looking. I still find that most Lenovo laptops are reasonably well
built, cheap, have good support and will run Ubuntu straight out of
the box. Maxed out RAM and an after market SSD (if you are
comfortable doing the upgrade yourself) would also be on my shopping list.

Hi everyone,
My brother is looking for a new laptop.
He uses it for generally pretty basic stuff - multimedia playback,
web browsing, a bit of gimp.
His criteria is:
- Ideally 15" screen, 14" would be acceptable
- 2.5kg or lower
- ideally battery lasting through a day at uni
- running ubuntu
Please reply all to include him in the discussion.
Cheers,
Bianca
