Dear All,
	I am looking for recommendations for a laptop purchase.  The
end user needs a not-too-big/heavy machine with a fast processor and
plenty of memory for a scientific number crunching application under
Linux.  The distro is not critical but must have good support for the
machine's peripherals.  Something along the lines of an Intel i7 CPU,
at least 6GB memory, a 13" or 14" screen and weighing not much more
than around 1.5kG would be ideal.  Something like the Toshiba Portege
R830-10Q looks fine for the spec. but the key requirement is good
driver support for the hardware.

Many thanks
Tom Crane.
