Hello,
You know how hard it is to find a good laptop. You know how harder it can be to find one without windows, or better, with some flavour of GNU/Linux preinstalled.
Secondhand Thinkpad X series (e.g. from eBay in the US)
We have two X220 Thinkpads, both with touchscreen. It is worth paying more to get the Ultimate N wifi card, one of ours has the regular Thinkpad wifi and we have often noticed differences in performance when using them in the same location
All hardware, including touchscreen, webcam, wifi seem to work with Debian 6 and 7 and I've used it for the full advertised 6 hours when flying long distances.
I'm looking for a new laptop. Do you have suggestions matching:
* Good support with Debian Testing * No more than 13 inches * Good Battery life. At least 5 hours * around 1 kilo / 2.4 pounds * No more than 500 EUR * SSD
