</div>OK this looks like what we need, I also found a Sony vaio with similar specs for about the same price which isn't available online.<br>
<br>
I think Kubuntu needs someone who's a frequent and reliable tester with one of these to be able to test our images.<br>
<br>
One option is I can buy one and test it, I don't especially need or<br>
want a new small laptop but I expect I'd find some use for it other<br>
than tested so I could go halfers with Kubuntu funding. Would Kubuntu<br>
council fund £200 to enable me to buy one?<br>
<br>
Other ways would be for some other tester to ask the same. Or for us<br>
to take up Pau on his kind offer, I just don't know how often or<br>
speedily he'd be able to do that, I think his mum might get annoyed<br>
after too many tests.<br>
