Dear nmglug-ers,<br>
<br>
I'm about to have 11 students in the upcoming Institute for Computing in Research internship program (<a href="https://computinginresearch.org/" target="_blank">https://computinginresearch.org/</a>) purchase laptops to run a GNU/Linux distribution.<br>
<br>
We subsidize them for up to $400 on these laptops.<br>
<br>
In the first two years things went OK but with some problems: most of the laptops ended up being $400 plus something, straining our budget, and some of them had annoyances with microphone and wifi drivers.<br>
<br>
Does anyone keep up to date on best laptops for the linux kernel in various price ranges?  Any advice?<br>
<br>
And there is also always a question running in the back of my head: would anyone know how to find a local (or global) business that might subsidize the laptops for our students?  I keep thinking that there must be some way to get Lenovo or some other company to either give away some laptops, or to sell us a $560 laptop for $400 -- we are a very deserving non-profit, after all.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately so far my attempts at following the chain of companies to their educational outreach people have turned out to be time-consuming dead ends.<br>
