Subject: [9fans] Laptop advice
Topicbox-Message-UUID: b61e339e-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

I'm looking for a laptop that will run Plan 9 native and not sacrifice
too many of its features in the process.  High resolution screen and
supported Wi-Fi (possibly add-on, in which case, please recommend a
product and a source) are particularly desirable assets, audio would
be nice.

I won't mind using an external mouse, seeing that there is little
alternative.

And considering that I'm likely to look for a refurbished model, it
does not necessarily have to be Intel or AMD, a Mac need not be
excluded.

Let me know.  I don't have to buy locally (South Africa) or in a
hurry, so if anyone has something for sale that will travel safely, I
may be very interested.

PS: I suspect I'll boot-select (Ubuntu) Linux most of the time and run
Plan 9 under VMware server, but being able to boot-select a decent
version of Plan 9 is absolutely essential.
