In this article I like to discuss about using Ubuntu Sabily on a Laptop or Notebook. One item we need to consider when buying a Laptop to install with Sabily, that it is not installed with Microsoft Windows operating system inside it. Meaning it is FreeDos. The price of the Laptop will be more cheaper if without Microsoft Windows install inside it. Unless you still want to use Windows OS and install Sabily inside it. About hardware, almost all hardware support by Linux Ubuntu Sabily. I survey some Laptop, Notebook and Netbook online and found some brand and model that is suitable for you to use with Sabily. For installation experience, wait for my article " Installation On An Old Laptop ". You can refer to it for your installation guide.

There are some more branded Laptop on the market offer without Operating System install inside it. You can get it cheaper than another version which included Windows Operating System. It is an opportunity for us to install open source software inside it like Sabily.
