Ugh, Windows 8.x. I bought a new laptop too with Win 8.1. Know what I'm using? My old laptop. Know what I'm buying next? A laptop to run Linux. (So I'm in the market for a used HP EliteBook or something similar if any of you guys pick one up.)Originally Posted by olddude
But whenever I have REAL work to do, the desktop is still the best. Or at least a decent keyboard and a decent big monitor connected to a laptop.

Sorry to steal the tread a little but you can run Linux(I am using Ubuntu now) along with any windows OS. At start up it will ask which you want to use. When you download Ubuntu it will ask you if you want to run it along with the windows OS or completely do away with the windows installation. I highly recommend Ubuntu. Mike.

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

Thanks, Mike. I'm thinking about dual boot with one of the Linux distros and Win7 on a nice used laptop, and keeping Win8.1 on the new laptop so I can occasionally torture myself and keep up with the times. I don't want to mess around with installing Linux on that one.
