I am looking for a cheap, light, tough, relatively fast laptop to replace my decade-old lenovo. It will be my daily computer for browsing, documents and occasional photo editing. I will install eitherUbuntu or Mint.
I am looking at thinkpad x13 gen 1. It looks like the processor has an impact on the way it will be running, with different performances between ARM AMD and Intel.
Can I buy either one or I there a real compatibility issue with intel?
OK, thanks for the tip. I might buy a new laptop or no laptop at all (I’ve been battling for two hours a canon printer that won’t print anything but blank pages with my Ubuntu distro)…
Which model canon exactly? I personally use an epson and it works out of the box.
It’s the LBP510dw. Ubuntu uses a generic driver that sends the printing command to the printer but only blank pages and/or one line of gibrish are printed. I installed CUPS but I get a “cups_handleerror” message printed upon switch on
I think you mistyped your model, it’s 151, not 510. These are the drivers for linux that work in conjuction to CUPS: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageclass-lbp151dw After installation, if it doesn’t work, it’s because these drivers haven’t been updated since forever… The blame is on Canon.
Hurrah!!! It works!!! (Although it works better after I installed Synaptic; I am new to this…)
Yes, that’s the one. I’ll try installing said driver and will keep you posted. Thanks
