I'm going to try something different this time - provide just the requirements and ask for specific models. Note that I am looking for a *development laptop* - something for me to use to continue hacking on FreeBSD. The goal is to replace my desktop for most work. Needs: - Intel core i5+ - support for 8GB+ memory (doesn't have to come with it) - Wireless must function on FreeBSD - X must function with better-than-VESA graphics - 13" screen - 320GB+ HDD Wants: - 8GB+ memory (coming with it) - larger screen is better - 500GB+ HDD - good resolution of the monitor - ability to upgrade HDD / add a new one in the side slot. Don't care: - weight - suspend/resume functioning - being able to switch to VTYs after starting X (i.e., intel KMS is likely fine) - optical drive - SSD -- Eitan Adler
