Right- in June I'm going to be looking for a new laptop.
I no longer do any video stuff, and my photography interests have moved to film so I don't need anything more than a repository.
I'm torn between a high spec Ubuntu laptop and the eee pad transformer + cloud.
I've never owned a non-Mac PC, and in fact no one in my family has so its a big step.
I realise that I'll probably have to concede some usage of exe files for certain specialist programs for data analysis, but as I understand it- Wine would help me sort this out.
Basically- if anyone has suggestions for what to get- budget is c.£1k, but would prefer to spend less, and what I should be looking for, etc, and finally the feasibility of Ubuntu.
