HeroDreamerCS Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 As far as Windows compatibility, I don't think you have to really worry about it (especially if it comes pre-loaded.) I would check the hardware lists for both (whatever distro of linux you plan on using.) It's not a fun job to do but I don't think it'll be too hard. Main hardware components to choose wisely are the wireless card (most intel cards) and possibly the graphics card (nvidia is a good bet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Guy if you live at a country than isn't a country of the third world i suggest to you a macbook pro, but if you live at one, i suggest to you a Sony Vaio. If you live in Europe (supposedly not thirld world), you pay at least 35% more than in the US for a Mac. A good reason, I believe, to think twice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GattoMorbido Windows: you don't have to worry about compatibility. Linux: avoid ATI cards like the plague (some distros might work, but most won't) OS X: more complicated. Check the compatibility list, search the forum for other people's experiences, and go Intel in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dainix Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You're probably better off getting a Dell or Gateway laptop, preferably with an Nvidia card and Intel chipset. The overall support is so much better than the others, like ATI or VIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
