Hey guys!
Every once in a while this question is asked on the list. This time it is
me. I want to buy a netbook, for it to be easy to carry around and have
long battery life.
My wife has a Samsung X120, which is great. She runs Photoshop on it
quite
fine. But it is out of stock almost everywhere.
I was wondering if anyone of you can advice a netbook that will work well
with Linux (I use Ubuntu) and yet have enough performance to work with
Linux Audio.
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
