Unfortunately I did not have much time to +spend on it, but today the replacement finally arrived. I ended up +picking a <a href="http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230">Thinkpad +X230</a> with SSD disk (NZDAJMN). I first test installed Debian Edu +Wheezy as a roaming workstation, and it worked flawlessly. As I write +this, it is installing what I hope will be a more final installation, +with a encrypted hard drive to ensure any dope head stealing it end up +with an expencive door stop.</p> + +<p>I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most +important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never +listed in the feature list. But I did get good help from the search +feature at <ahref="http://www.prisjakt.no/">Prisjakt</a>, which +allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other +requirements. A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks, so I had +to drop number of disks from my search parameters.</p> + +<p>I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is significantly +wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my hand a lot more +to reach the edges. But the key response is fairly good and the +individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope I will get +used to it. My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really needed a +new laptop now. :)</p> + +<p>I look forward to figuring out how to turn off the touch pad.</p> + + + Fourth alpha release of Debian Edu/Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fourth_alpha_release_of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html
