[LUG] Compaq Laptop. R3307EA

 

Hi All,

Spot of advice please on an intended purchase. The above laptop is on sale via www.pcworld.co.uk as a web exclusive. It's a very nice spec for a tidy price, so I'd like to replace my Schmony Vileo with it. Any comments on getting it to work with Linux? The big stumbling block I've had with the 2.6.* kernels has been the trackpad. The Sony has a Synaptics, but the Compaq has an ALPS trackpad (I'm assuming it doesn't yodel when I move it ;)). Any thoughts on the rest of the spec?

Full spec is on http://www.pcworld.co.uk -> Computers -> Laptops. It's the only Compaq listed :)

Kind regards,

Julian
