5/5

As a long-time linux laptop user who was tired of
struggling with unsupported name brand laptop
hardware, I sought a serious tech oriented source
of a totally linux-compatible machine. Having
searched the web I saw Los Alamos Computers.
Watching the site for a few months, I saw them
keep their hardware at the cutting edge. When a
nice clearance price on the previously offered
laptop model appeared, I ordered. Delivery was
exactly as promised. When some support materials
I had expected were missing, a quick call got them
sent promptly and free of charge.
This group is a rarity: exactly what they appear
to be. Like their web site, straightforward and
tech friendly with all the data you need or want
set out clearly. While they are Linux specialists
with a great selection of system distributions,
they will also install Windows for you if asked.
Selling everything from dual-head power
workstations to laptops, they clearly cater to a
technically demanding market.
For over a month, the laptop has performed
beautifully. It is a fine custom design obviously
made by and for linux fans. The system
installation is similarly expert and logical. It
would be virtually impossible to duplicate in the
branded commercial laptop market.
