Being a laptop you can be happy with ~5 years of lifecycle. Beside that,
you'll start facing problems (manufacturer has completely dropped support
for that model, no more replacement pieces, etc...) :-)


Okay, 5+ years is still better then 2+.


I suppose requiring a FullHD display is a good strategy to buy a new
notebook and keep it for the next 10 years :-)



FullHD will be superseded by SuperFullHD in SuperHighXtra Definition in
4D... sooner or later so just look for a laptop that you like now that is
compatible with Debian and go ahead ;-)


But almost no manufacturer will give me this kind of information "Debian
Compatilble". Whenever I ask they say it will be Windows 7 compatible only,
even when I have no issues.

FullHD is not the current standard for DTV, Blueray and camcorders? Although
I believe DTV will evolve faster than PAL/NTSC standards, I believe FullHD
will stand as a standard for quite a while, surely far more than 10 years
from now. Telecommunications (including broadcasting) is a lot more
conservative than personal computing.

Is there a place where I can check notebook models against Debian?
