Guest MichaelB Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Hello all, I'm having a hard time finding a vendor who sells a reasonably priced laptop with a 17+ display with a minimum of 1920x1200 resolution. They seemed to be easy to find a year or year and a half ago, but not now that my ancient laptop died (4+ years old, resolution: 14??x1050). I've been using Mandriva since Mandrake 9.0 on Dells, but Dell no longer sells a 17 inch 1920x1200 unless you 'upgrade' to their hardcore alienware machines. Gateway a year ago or so used to make a FX ??? that had 1920 x 1200, but word on the street was the hardware was buggy with Mandriva. Wish list: Screen: 17+ inches preferably non-shiny Resolution: min 1920 x 1200 (absolute min: 1400 x 1050) (Widescreen WUXGA better, and WQXGA (2560x1600) would be a dream) Processor: Core 2 Duo (Core 2 Quad better) Anyone know of a laptop maker that sells these? And anyone know if Mandriva 2009.1 will install on them? Worst case, anyone know of an older model that I can get off ebay or craigslist? Thanks, Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MichaelB Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Well, I'd bump this, but it's still at the top :( Alternatively, anyone know of another forum to post this question in? Thanks, Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
