<p dir="ltr">This is my first time trying to answer a mailing so sorry if anything goes wrong. I use a Dell Inspiron 14r, a laptop model that is on sale in the Dell website, along with Xubuntu 15.04. I also use Xubuntu in an older laptop that has 4 GB, so I believe low to mid end laptop that you buy will do just fine. </p>
<p dir="ltr">One thing to notice is that Dell has a strong partnership with Microsoft, so when you buy a computer from them, be sure you are not paying for an embedded Windows license. Last time I checked they sell laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Just to summarise the viewpoints:<br>
1. Consider major brands, Dell and HP (Elite or Probook series) and<br>
Intel inside<br>
2. Use a Live Distro as a probing process if required<br>
3. Use any warranty period creatively: If it don't work, return it.<br>
4. Some of the older brands bought secondhand can also be quite good and<br>
economical eg Thinkpads</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for your responses.</p>
