Laptop recommendations?

Linux is fantastic for what it is but I usually don't recommend it because eventually the person want to add something that Linux doesn't do (and probably shouldn't anyway) and then they start whining "I could do that with Windows"

They just don't get the point that for very basic computer use for the basic user it's frikin bulletproof, dead reliable and FREE.
But noooooo.

I HAIGHT Winhozed Ha-eight. That is all.

Lenovo Thinkpad T520, dual boot Winhozed sleven (use it very rarely) and Linux Ubuntu (formerly Mint) "Mate" desktop

I have two of them "used" and paid about 150 each. I put an SSD in the one I use daily and it REALLY REALLY REALLY sped the thing up. Takes seconds to boot. SECONDS

Frankly, I doubt that the support for Winhoard sleven will run out before your laptop dies. Also "there are ways" to get support after this, even lots of stuff for Xtra Putrid can still be had. The "big" problem with old OS's is support for new hardware.

I've thought about buying a Mac. It would be used if I did. Frankly, I think the used ones I've seen are incredibly over-priced. I hate Steve Jobs, may he rot, even more than I hate Gates and his buddy runs the company.
