Want a Linux Laptop?.
The advantages of Linux laptops and desktop computers have been evident to developers and techno-geeks for a long time, but new advances in GUI in Ubuntu and Red Hat systems mean that more people can use Linux as a platform without having too much transition difficulty after using Windows and Mac OS types. Open Source Laptops now have a wide selection of apps, programs, and tools available, and many of them are free versions of word processing and spreadsheet software that adds hundreds of dollars to the price of the average laptop computer. Even though laptop prices have dropped considerably over the past few years, Linux Laptops are great for small businesses and consumers who want to save money on the initial purchase as well as the upgrade. Additionally, the Linux platform is not as big of a target for virus writers, so maintenance and downtime issues related to malware, viruses, and adware are less frequent.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Having Linux Laptops, or any type of software platform, is no guarantee against hackers, who are pretty good at exploiting holes.
