[linux-audio-user] Notebook for audio

[Ralf Haller]

Hi Guys,

thanks a lot for your replies. According to your mails there are indeed 
noteboks with decent build-in sound capabilities. Since I need FM-radio 
quality only, I don't need a highend external sound card. Running Linux 
and WLAN should normally be no problem.

Since I don't want to spend much more than 1000-1200 EUR ThinkPads etc. 
are no option. Dell looks good however.

I'll keep you updated.
