[ubuntu-in] Budget Laptop for Linux

[Narendra Diwate]

 I am thinking of buying a Budget Laptop (About 25K INR, Not Netbook, so NO
Atom or similar). Towards that end, because I want it to be fully compatible
with Linux, was looking at Ubuntus page of supported/tested hardware (
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/). I find that Lenovo and Dell have the
most models that are supposed to work well with Ubuntu. I assume broadly
that this is true of all Distos.

So these are my requirements:

1. Budget of 25K.
2. Atleast an Intel i3 or its AMD eqivalent. May go for Core2Duo if can't
find one in budget.
3. Good battery life of atleast 4or5 hours.
4. 3GB RAM atleast.
5. Card Slot, Webcam, Bluetooth, Wifi.
6. Am looking at as light as possible in this budget, so if it comes with an
Optical drive to reduce size/weight, so be it.
7. Atleast 250GB HDD.
8. Know to work with Debian/Ubuntu/Linux.

Please advice if these are reasonable/outlandish expectations. Any specific
models/brands to look at. Any recent experiences that you went thru. Any
Deals out there etc.
