I am looking for a 13-15" laptop that has Linux installed. It must have 2 GB of RAM and be under $500. I'd also like for it to have at least 120 GB hard drive.

When shopping for: laptop | Posted 05/22/2009 | 130 Views
Details:
1. Ignoring the price (try to stay as low as possible), I would like a Linux computer with 2 GB RAM and at least 120 GB hard drive, but it cannot be a Dell. And I don't want a mini laptop, I already have an Acer netbook.

2. Try to avoid Ebay listings. I buy all electronics brand new.

Wal-Mart has a sub-$500 Linux laptop on its online store. The $498 Balance laptop comes preloaded with Linspire's desktop Linux operating system and is claimed to be the lowest priced laptop on the market that includes a complete operating system and office suite.
This laptop comes with a low amount of RAM and a 30GB Hard Drive. 
There are no other Linux Laptops under $500. The closest Linux with your specifications would be the LC2000 Series Linux Laptop and it starts at $799. It has a 15.4" screen, 2GB of RAM upgradable to 4GB
