Mine is the BenQ S31VW. Good value for money. Things started to break down lately... but part of it is my mistake.
Yeap, so far I am quite happy with my BenQ. Hope it can last for a few years. :)
Will try installing other OSes on it? What's the price?
BenQ explicitly says Linux will not be supported and this machine is designed for Vista. I know there should be ways to get around it, but I won't try that for now. :P
I bought for S$1688, but in KL its price will be RM3299, which is cheaper ;)
Ah... explicitly not supported? Well, guess I won't be going for BenQ then.
It's a pain when you try to claim warranty on a hardware problem and the guy keeps insisting that because you installed Linux, the warranty is void.
Unfortunately I don't see any PC maker actively supporting Linux on notebooks. If you do aware of any, I will love to know.
Seen a few with Ubuntu but not sure if they are still around. My asus has freedos but the casing sucks so I can't recommend it.
wd hard drive 250gb is enough for collect data
