Reasonable sound support (recording and playback at least) I bought a laptop recently and I had to face it: There are no notebooks (except maybe the powerbooks) with reasonable/semi-pro sound built in. So you need to add an external soundbox or PC-Card in your calculation. There are cheap USB-cables like the one by Edirol. > 3. jack and adour should be able to run If ALSA runs, both of these should run, too. There are no new laptops under the 1 GHz border anymore, so you are on the safe side anyway. > 4. WLAN (either build in or via PC-Card) > > What notebooks do you use? What are your experiences? I have the Acer Travelmate 225 and it is a really nice notebook. Everything I use is supported (not the modem), I use APM and it runs more than 3 hours while playing mp3's with alsaplayer. It also is very silent, only if I compile ardour or the kernel, the fan goes on. I can recommend it. It's around 1000 Euro. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
