Linux Laptop

[hewitt_tech]

In my experience you want to pay careful attention to the graphics chip set used by the system. I've also had lot's of problems with the ACPI support but newer distros such as Ubuntu and probably anything recent from SUSE, RedHat should be good as well.  One other area that gives heart burn is the choice of wireless chip set. Broadcom is especially painful.

www.resllerratings.com gives RKComputer a 10 out of 10 rating but bear in mind this is only based on a dozen buyer reviews.

P.S. Until you mentioned RKComputer I had never heard of them...

  Hi,

  Does anybody have recommendations for an MSI /Asus laptop ?
  I am planning to use it for Java/C++ development (need to run eclipse), general browsing and editing documents with Open office.

  Any recommendation on the following retailer is also appreciated.

  Thank you,
