Re: Recommendations for laptop for travelling

For graphics either Nvidia or Intel. Nvidia is much faster but
you need the proprietary driver for 3D. The Intel kernel drivers support
3D. Your best bet would be a Core2 based laptop with Intel graphics and
Intel wireless (which is going to be the usual combination for a Core2).
You should avoid ATI graphics

I'm happy with my iBook and its Mobility Radeon 9200 (although it took
some time until it worked flawlessly). OTOH a collegue of mine has
some Apple laptop (IIRC a PowerBook) with some Nvidia graphics, and he
does not get out of it what he needs. IIRC the problem is that he
does not get clone mode (i.e. the same stuff displayed on the internal
and the external display). Oh, and Nvidia does not make proprietary
drivers for Linux-PPC.
