[ubuntu-in] Request for recommending a Small Form Factor computer for Ubuntu

[raju vindane]

As Rishi has stated He needs a system to connect to an External
Monitor. Here he must be needing a full fledged OS capable of doing
everything. Ubuntu is the best choice for it. As per my experience
Android sucks on Netbooks.
So an android system is not a good option.

Again if he can go for a Ubuntu machine, Why bother for android
