[vox] Laptop recommendation

[Jeffrey J. Nonken]

Consider a Mac. Compare prices vs. features before you decide. And you can get a refurb.

I've never tried running Linux native, but I've run Linux and BSD (and Windows) under Parallels.

Ohhh, except I did boot Knoppix 5.0 several times while trying to fsck repair some *nix drives last time we lost power.

You'll get WiFi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), gigabit ethernet, built-in webcam, microphone, IR remote, dual-core Intel processor, oh go look at the bloody website and see for yourself. :)
