[GLLUG] Laptop recommendations?

[Clay Dowling]

I think we all universally like Thinkpads.  I'm working ona Dell 
Latitude E6530 right now that's pretty nice.  It's a heavy bear though, 
so if you day involves much non-motorized schleping, you might not like it.

I've been relatively happy with my ASUS eeepc as well.  The screen is 
small and resources are constrained (it caps out at 2GB RAM), but it 
works quite well.  It doesn't play well with Gnome Unity: the 
constrained memory causes some gnome apps to crash regularly.  If I were 
to downgrade the UI though, I'm pretty sure this machine would be 
completely trouble free.  Haven't tried FluxBox on it yet, but I suspect 
it would be a happier beast.
