[TriLUG] Seeking Free-Software-friendly laptop suggestions

[David A. Cafaro]

Not sure if this link will work:

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/latit?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=hied

And scroll all the way to the right.  Duke may have decided to no longer
support them, so asked Dell to remove it from their institutional
purchase plan.  They are still listed on Georgetown Universities
Institutional page as well as the above link which is the generic Higher
Education page.

Good luck,
David
