hello,
the driver that cause problem was online for 1 week, and there was huge
announce that you should not use it.
i had a A8JS, and then a N80 (both was almost the same computer, but with
everything upgraded. i can use both battery in the same laptop by example).
i think the N81 is also almost the same, updated computer.
asus are the only one to provide 14 inch laptop with "good" gpu.
for now, i think nvidia still provide better driver than ati, but things slowly
improve on ati.

I have the a8js and it's great for ubuntu/pd/Gem. I'd say the driver
killer is a pretty isolated incident and that you'll have a better time
getting a laptop with an nvidia chip. If you liked the A8Js then maybe
it's time to get another ASUS?
Cheers,

Hi all
I'm in the way to buy a laptop theses days and would know if someone could give
me a good advice,
I need to install a debian (or ubuntu) system on it.
I'll use the laptop for audio/video liveshows with pd/gem, with many GEM
objects so a good graphic card is needed
I have a max ~900euros budget.
Short story :
Some years ago a bought an asus a8js with 7700Go nvidia graphic card,
very good performances and linux friendly, worked perfectly with all
debian/ubuntu distros I've used and I've done a lot of lives and works with
it...
BUT !
This card have burned and damaged all my motherboard ! This is due to a very
bad graphic nvidia (proprietary) driver, explanations here :
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/warning-nvidia-19675-drivers-can-kill-your-graphics-card/7551
Now a lots of laptop are shipped with ATI cards, so my questions are :
- are ATI cards goods for pd/gem users ?
- is someone here have any advice on a good laptop for pd/gem use
Thanks in advance for any comment/ideas,
pierre
