[AuckLUG] Buying a Laptop

[Patrick Gildea]

I'm going to be dual booting  between linux and Windows 2000 and windows 
Vista :( unfortunately my work requires windows. I'm trouble shooting 
windows computers.

I wasn't really considering getting less than 2gigs of RAM. I was thinking 
of Toshiba. I'm getting one with a Core 2 Duo since I believe they have the 
most power for the price. Or though I havn't really thought out there 
powerusage and heat output before but hopefully its not to bad. along with 
the Nvidia Graphics card.
