Laptop Quandry
I think I want a laptop, but I'm in a quandry.
Should I buy a used Lenovo T40 from eBay, a refurb Dell 1420 from their outlet store, or what?
I plan to run Linux on it, but if I got one with Vista, I would dual-boot it and Linux, and use the Vista partition for learning. (More and more of my neighbors are getting new computers with Vista Home.)
After writing that, I think I'm leaning toward the Dell. :-)

If you're going to run Vista, you're going to want a LOT of memory on the computer... so make sure you shop carefully.
James could help you with specs if you need a hand.

Now I'm leaning toward "cheap"! Why should I spend an extra $500 just for my neighbors? :-)

Do your neighbors read your blog?
