Why not spend > 1000?...one of the shittier aspects of cheap laptops is the quality of the video display, and believe me, you will spend a lot of hours looking at it.
Dell, Lenovo and Compaq/HP do whitelisting/rebranding of hardware to do vendor lock-in and avoiding you to customize your hardware, so they are ENTIRELY out of question for a new Linux machine.
Change to FreeBSD and be done with it. At least what you will learn will be valid many years to come. MS has not the best interest in providing business continuity, and they interest now is ramming powershell down the users throats simply to leverage a monopoly and have less people objecting to use the language that controls their cloud services.
The barrier to entry for the resources to monitor customer usage to basically working for free for the media cartels, the period of data retention, and other legal requirements are a big barrier of costs of entry on the business that familiar ISPes can no longer afford.
This comment is spot on. Many people do not realize that they pay 3 to 8 times the average price of electricity if they let on all the time their A/C and/or water heating units.
I have been interview by several UK people, and well, with the kind of salaries they are paying, it is a no-no. Why move there, when I can move to Ireland and get a better pay?
If some says 11 hours time difference do no matter, that person is being delusional. I worked as an expat abroad, and the 2 hours difference time was extremely painful in critical phases of projects or in malfunctions.
I am interested in a non-Intel architecture, similar to the Lemote and preferably made on a BRICS country; as I said before HP, Compaq, IBM, Lenovo and Dell are out of the list.
Exactly , I second you too guys . I have to fix up all the linuxes in my server farm, and at my work laptop where I do not need every ounce of performance, MacBook does the job without giving too much headaches.

Dell does rebranding of hardware...I will never buy it for Linux or even for Windows - if I ever run Windows, but that is an entirely different talk.

Because this is a news "shill" advert from MS, that is why.

Some of us are more lucky. I have been using Linux/*BSD as servers since 1996 and Apple as desktop/notebook since 2005 in a corporate environment.
You do not speak for myself, yeah. Us admins run Linux and *BSD ;-P
Errrm...what prevents me from copying the cmd.exe binary and calling it ... sane_cmd.exe?

What the hell has USA to do with the will of a sovereign country? Are you fucking joking with us?

Windows x is way better than Windows (x-1) ever was...since when? the 80s? Give us a break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Propaganda for "nerds". Articles insinuating the advent of censorship in facebook, how nice.
Thanks for introducing some sense here. It is only a pity having to read all the nonsense to find your comment.

Actually, it is DNSCRYPT that you want in your DNS resolver.
If I only had this to hack as a teenager to make my friends taste shit....
A minor nitpick, via wireless they have had for ages proprietary wireless technology for audio AND video.
Xiaomi or a MIPS notebook in the line of the deceased Lemote seems more interesting each day that goes by.
In my calendar it is still November...
Those who use SlashAdvertsing fuck less.

Mac users won't be surely be pushed to Windows. You are not pushed to something clearly inferior.
