I get the cheapest HPs I can find at Office Max or whatever. If it is a
tab old, the better. I got Shani an HP last year that cost me 349
dollars and works opensuse right off the 12.1 CD perfectly. With Linux
it is a powerful machine.
I also have recent experiences with the least expensive HP lap tops from
Best Buy last month and it also went very smooth and would make anyone
happy.
