[TriLUG] laptop shopping

[David Brain]

Been pretty happy with a variety of fairly recent Dell laptops -
couple of Vostros & a Lattitude - all ran Ubuntu with no fuss (had one
with an a/b/g/n/bluetooth card - that was a bit fiddly untill Ubuntu
13.10 came out, but that was the only real issue).  Their business
laptops seem decent - at least for the price, not so sure about their
consumer end though.
