Re: [ilugd] Advice for Linux laptop
Hi all, I want to buy a laptop for docing some heavy scientific computational work... The hard which i have chosen is as follows Intel duo core 2 processor with min 2.0 Ghz processor Wireless network card ATI radeaon or Nvidia Geforce graphics card with min 128 Mb on board memory 14' or 15' inch screen with 1280*800 minimun resolution 1GB RAM and 80 GB HD Most laptops will look similar on their advertised features - like number and speed of processors, amount of memory etc. While choosing a laptop, I would look at - 1. What warranty they offer for parts and labor. 2. Their memory speed and whether they offer DDR or DDR2 type. Hardware goes obsolete in less than 6 months. 3. What is their Front Side Bus speed (in case Intel), makes a huge difference in performance when compared between same kind of CPUs. 4. Need high performance graphics only if I need to play games / watch movies or other scientific computation involving images. 5. Does it have a DVD ROM or DVD RAM and what formats of DVD it supports. 6. Does it have a DVI video output as it is going to replace VGA standard. 7. A security chip is nice to have.
