Hi, for now, instead of getting a Slate, I found a computer, that will
be better for what I need at the moment.
The specs are:-
Acer Aspire 5736Z
Pentium Dual Core CPU
T4500 @ 2.30 GHz
RAM 3.00 GB
64 bit
Windows 7 Premium
I want to install Ubuntu, but i'm a bit concerned about the fact its
64bit, and having read a few peoples problems when trying to install.
Just wondered would there be any problems with the installation with
this computer?
Thanks
We've just bought 2 new laptops, a HP G72

& an Asus A52F

I've installed on the HP with only one minor problem (wireless didn't
work OTB, but an update of packages solved that, everything else has
worked OTB. For the Asus, I've tried a live USB and everything seems to
work OTB. Both are 64 bit.
I've not had any problems with different apps, I've got flash & skype
working with no problems, the only thing that doesn't work is the free
version of minecraft.
Hope that helps.
Dave
