    Xubuntu Touch screen computer (Request)
    « on: January 31, 2011, 04:58:06 PM »
    I have a strange request. I will make a list below.

    - Tablet computer or touch screen laptop.
    - Xubuntu
    - Microphone/Camera
    - Skype Support
    - Not to much into gaming, but a few emulators would be nice.
    - USB
    - Physical keyboard.

    I am thinking a touch screen laptop where I can install Windows and Xubuntu would be nice. I don't use Windows much, but to have it, if needed.

    What would you say is the best way to go? The best way to be the cheapest and get the most for my money.

    Quantos

    Can you clarify what you are looking for?
    Do you need hardware, software or both?

        If you look at the link above you will see that "CNET" says it "Starting at: $2,249.99", yeah not looking at something that pricey. I did find it for a cheaper price of "$850", but still way too pricey for me. If anyone can find it much (much cheaper), then let me know. Other wise I need something different.

        Just a reminder, I am gearing towards something that will run Xubuntu for business use. I am a big Internet user when it comes to work.

          I don't know how to tell if a touch screen device will work smoothly with Xubuntu. This is because I have never had the chance to test out a touch screen device with Xubuntu.
