Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Laptop

I totally agree that looking for a laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed is probably not the best approach. If it were a straight choice between buying model X with Windows or Ubuntu for the same price, then that would be very satisfying from an idealogical perspective. Back in the real world,

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu laptop

In the vein of buying a laptop without an OS, The 'going linux' podcast from last week featured someone talking about how he had bought a t420 and got the specs up to the point that it beats out a new macbook pro. http://ia801501.us.archive.org/25/items/glp295/glp295.mp3 It seems you can do it

Hi Tony, I'm still using 12.04 - I thought it was supported for 5 years, so there's another year to go. Also, I would expect a machine which runs 12.04 would manage 16.04 without too much trouble, and might be cheaper as it has an older OS on it. There's not much else around at the £200 mark.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu laptop

Hi Jim I wouldn't by that one as one comment say it comes with 12.04 (which is out of support) and you can't easily update it because of the driver for the Realtek wifi card. I would go for any other computer that will run 14.04 or 16.04 out of the box, whether or not I had to overwrite the
