I ordered mine from the refurb Lenovo store.  Lenovos are generally pretty well supported by Linux.  Only issue I had was firmware for Wi-Fi on my model wasn't in my disto of choice (Debian) but there was help on the web for that.

CIALUG,

I just got back from a week long trip to visit some relatives and see more in the future.  It has become clear to me I need to pickup a laptop or tablet to use so I am not stuck using a relatives Windows machine.

I see that newegg has ASUS A53U-ES21 Notebook AMD Dual-Core Processor
E-450(1.65GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW AMD Radeon HD 6320  on sale today for $329.

Any suggestions for a better option or deal?

Steve
