Hello!!!
I've been using my Sony Vaio (2005) for 5 long years :ashamed: The Vaio Queen runs really smooth on ubuntu even now.
But, time has come to get a new laptop.
1. 13 inch laptop
2. Normal use. Basically programming and running eclipse/IDE, with music and 12-13 open tabs in a firefox browser. I won't be playing games on it.
3. Should NOT be heavy.
4. Any latest and stable processor would do, but I'm not looking for a THE ULTIMATE processor. Intel is my preference.
5. Keypad needs to be soft.
6. I stay in the US for a while, so price range is about $600 - $800
I'd be running Windows7 and Ubuntu on it. I'm not bothered about storage, but would appreciate a good display on it. I need it to be easy on the eyes.
I had gone thru some spec and found the thinkpad edge to be good.
But, I'd be glad to take the views of the experts here.
Thanks in Advance
