[vox] Laptop purchase recomendation

[Joshua Morris]

Hi Everyone,

I am shopping for a new laptop and am looking for suggestions on laptops
that work well with Linux.  I have been looking at HP's dv9000t  with the
core 2 duo chip set.  At < $2,800 i'm scared to exaust my student budget on
it if it is not going to do what I am looking for.  This is the
configuration I am looking for:

HP Pavilion dv9000t customizable Notebook Pc
EZ379AV

   - =96 Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.0 GHz)
   - =96 17.0" WXGA+ Ultra BrightView Widescreen (1440x900)
   - =96 512MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7600
   - =96 HP IMPRINT Finish + Microphone + Webcam
   - =96 FREE Upgrade to 1.0GB DDR2 SDRAM (2x512MB)!!
   - =96 240 GB 5400 RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120 GB x 2)
   - =96 FREE Upgrade - LightScribe DVD+/-RW w/Double Layer
   - =96 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network w/Bluetooth
   - =96 HP ExpressCard Analog TV Tuner w/remote control
   - =96 Two High Capacity 8 Cell Lithium Ion Batteries
   - =96 HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

If you use any other brands that have similar specs let me know.  If you
have had any good/bad experiences with Linux on a hp that too would be
greatly appreciated.
I looked around on Google to see if I could find any websites that might
have more information, but there wasn't much available becuse the laptop has
only been out a few months.
