Dear Interweb (really Linux on Laptop people),
Do you recommend a Turion 64 X2 or an Intel Core 2 Duo in a laptop?
My main aim is to make it run Fedora with all its bells and whistles (and hope it lasts longer than 2 years; the older IBM can’t do Xen in FC-6).
Are Dell’s a good buy? Are their three years comprehensive warranty worth buying (much like its a necessity for the Apple stuff)? Is the Inspiron or Latitude the more affordable versions of the Dell? Why can’t I see Firewire in their specs? Whatever happened to good ‘ole PCMCIA slots?
Size isn’t really a factor, I’ve become used to lugging 15″ wide screens for a while now, even during travel.
One thing I’ve found funny with the Dell website – I can’t untick MS Windows or even MS Works. I apparently need to have them. Can I return them without hassle?
