Hardware advice, plug and laptop.

[Linux-SWAT]

Hi !

I would like to buy a plug-like computer (small form, not especially wall-charger type) and also an ARM laptop.
It's for a very common usage, internet, video chat, etc.

Can you guys recommend me some products/websites ?

For an arm laptop you could look at the chromebooks.

is there an alternative to the (Edit: Samsung) chromebook at the moment? I'm getting one at my next trip to the States (German layout sucks). You can get used ones really cheap,making them perfect for traveling. I'm not a fan of carrying over 1k tech around.

Or you could get a Nexus 7 2gen. Its awesome and very handy (don't care about Android). Typing works surprisingly well, the battery life ist very good. Like the first Nexus 7 you'll be able to multiboot using MultiROM (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and regular Linux distributions).

Not all chromebooks are arm based afaik.


There are cheap chinese arm notebooks on ebqy but they are very slow with old processors mostly.
