Which one will run both Win & linux
September 1st, 2013
I want to buy new Latest laptop of i3 or i5 processor but which one should i buy
Now i am in india for 2years for my company work so i have to buy it here.
I use OS like Windows, Linux, Ubuntu on desktop by dual boot,but they r old and slow
So want to buy a new laptop
can u guys tell me which i3 or i5 processor laptop can run dual boot Windows & Linux or Ubuntu
it will great help if u suggest me few
I’m running an i3 in my laptop at this moment,
and it dual boots windows 7 and ubuntu lucid lynx (don’t do oneiric, Unity sucks balls)
I’ll only stick with the next LTS if they don’t stuff it up again, otherwise I’ll be moving linux distros
and fairly quickly, as well
Both cpu’s will handle that no problem whatsoever.
I have no idea what kind of work you are doing though.
you can make dual boot with both CPU.
