Hi All, Am interested in buying a not-too-old (or even new) laptop. (My Acer Aspire 5315 just can't play hi-res video files on smplayer well, even when doing nothing else.) An MSY store pointed me to a couple of new low-price ones, but they didn't seem Linux-compatible. Looking for fairly old-school specs: Compatible with HDD (not SSD) internal SATA drive DVD (or better, BluRay) drive Decent (full-size good-feel) keyboard 1 bidirectional (or 2 unidirectional) 3.5mm headset sockets Not IBM, Dell, or HP (personal) Built-in camera... meh Highly compatible w/ Ubuntu (using Mint MATE Qiana, not a sysadmin) 64-bit and multi-core CPU, I suppose USB 3.x Anyone selling something like that? Know someone who is? Thanks in advance. Carl Turney Mobile 0427 024 735 Home 9720 3975 Out Ringwood way
