Hello Louigi,

I think anything will do as long as it runs Linux. I have a cheap 
Packard Bell (part of Acer) and it works fine for me besides some 
quirks. I basically chose it because it had a 11,6" screen and a 
full-size keyboard. If I'd to buy a new one I would pick one out that 
fits my needs, check if the hardware is supported and then I'd buy it 
online.

Best,

Jeremy
