[ubuntu-in] Looking for a laptop

[knk]

I use a refurbished  DELL Latitude 620. I have no complaints. Its fast
and runs UBuntu (configuring the wireless was tough though).

I have to confess that I am not a power user, most of my use is
limited to email, documents, internet etc Never used it for any real
programing
