Has anyone found a recent-model laptop that will take DSL sweetly? I have read interesting previous posts about older laptops, but I'm buying a new laptop anyway. I am agnostic about brand and specs - it will just be a $1200 to $1800 consumer laptop, the more recent the better, so the manufacturers will not have changed the guts since you bought yours.

I've got stuck on issues with mouse-recognition and intermittent startup of x-server on my Vaio VGN-A217S, so I'd rather do this the other way round and match the laptop up to the OS before purchase.

I am particularly keen on  getting DSL to boot from a pendrive.

best regards,

Nigel

Try go to a shop which will let you try on the showing machines. Just boot dsl livecd on them and check if everything works..
