Laptop brands/suggestions and hardware to avoid...
by Basslord1124 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZRWZ)
So I've got a budget of about $500 for a new laptop. I was wanting to know if there were any brands or hardware to avoid in terms of compatibility. And then of course any brands/hardware you would recommend. I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on both my old Samsung and Toshiba laptops and it does well. As long as I can exceed my current hardware specs I should be fine (I'm sure it'll exceed them).
Current specs:
1.6Ghz Quad Core CPU
4GB RAM (6GB on the Toshiba laptop)
500GB HD
I'm generally a long term-er with a computer...meaning I will keep it til it gives its last breath. I will probably still even use my current old ones even after I get the new one.
Uses will be web browsing, audio/video editing, little bit of CAD work, some office work, and probably some other general uses. Appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks!
