Hi all,

I am considering replacing my old broken screen laptop (Pent 350 &
256MB) with a replacement.

Does anyone recommendations on $400 to $600 laptops for Linux with a
regular 15" or so screen and at least 2-4GB RAM. I am going with a
low-spec (and low cost) as I have used the laptop an hour or two a
week in the past as for daily use my eyes prefer my desktop's 24"
widescreen LCD.

In this price range I am mostly finding Netbooks and the occasional
low end Acer (newegg). I could handle the speed of a netbook but my
older and poor eyes would protest (and the additional RAM cost makes
them spendy-ish for what you get).

Any recommendations for a new, regular 15" or so standard notebook on
the cheap for Linux use (prob. Ubuntu or KUbuntu)? I am thinking my
concerns here and hardware compatibility and cost.

Thank you,

Joel
