Hi, I'm planning to buy my first laptop, and I'm confused. Can you people suggest me.
Budget is 30-35 K Use :- For development purpose. It should run Eclipse, Firefox ( atleast 20-25 tabs), Multimedia. at the same time. on my current office laptop( Dell latitude D810 with 2GB Ram) I can only run firefox, and small IDE. No multimedia at one go. It hangs... though I use xubuntu.
OS :- Kubuntu.
I have seen a couple of Dell and Acer laptops in that range which support linux quite well. But the best way would be to go to a showroom with a live cd and test it out yourself since the ones that are tested are a bit old and newer machines are available with better specifications. So, you can have a look at Dell and Acer models in your price range and then go to showroom and test it out.
