| 375198 | 2005-07-26 09:30:00 | it would be preferrable to buy a laptop brand that is known be Linux friendly from the word go. Some lappy manufacturers work closely with SuSE et al. If someone intended to go Linux, then some brand examples just might be useful to hear about. Especially if they didn't include an OEM Windows or Mac o/s in the price. |

In answer to Prescott's question about installing Linux on a laptop, you can get them preinstalled overseas. HP did some Linux laptops - see here (news.com.com), and I think Novell in NZ has it's staff using SuSE on laptops which were preinstalled. Overseas resellers also sell a variety of other branded laptops which they offer with Linux preinstalled, unfortunately I don't know of anyone doing them in NZ. This is all a mote discussion anyway, as the thread starter is interested in laptops running either Windows or OSX. :) |

| 375202 | 2005-07-26 11:26:00 | Just really stuff around play games ETC For round a couple grand you can get a laptop running Windows that will play the latest games in there full glory (or close to it) with a widescreen and a DVD-Writer. For less you can get one that plays many games but will struggle with the newer titles. If you just want to play Age or empires and other 2D or basic games then any will do. For 4 grand you could get a mac that isn't capable of running any games and probally has a 1Ghz cpu and a paltry 256mb of ram (Totally unresearched Mac comment btw,but one of the fanatics will correct it Im sure) |
