Hello everybody,

I want to buy an ASUS or ACER laptop to run Debian 6(or Ubuntu) on it.

I am not into gaming and neither work with multimedia applications. I
just want the X system(graphical desktop) to work well.

Because I work online, I want the LAN card and sound card to work 'out
of box' or without much tweaking( I am not a linux expert).

1) *** Can anybody please suggest specific models of ASUS or ACER
laptops to buy(which fit in the above mentioned criteria)? ***

2) *** Please also tell me, as to what happens, if we are not able to
find the required driver in Debian/Ubuntu Linux for the graphics card?
Will just 3D acceleration not work or will the system lose all its
graphical processing capabilities including processing of the X
system(graphical desktop)? ***

3) *** Is any of the following two cards supported under Debian 6 /
Ubuntu linux? ***
a) Intel HD 3000
b) NV GT 610M 2G DDR3 VRAM
Are Nvidia cards better supported in Debian linux or Intel
graphics cards?

Thanking you,
Pranav

Both are well supported. The Intel will work with less fuss,
with open-source drivers, and will probably cause you fewer
problems. The NVidia has better performance, but if you aren't
playing games, that won't matter at all.

I have an acer TimelineX 4820 (pretty good batery life)
and Asus N53SV (standard battery life)
with 2 graphic chipset : Intel/ATI and Intel/Nvidia optimus

Acer work with VgaSwitcheroo

Asus with optimus chipset work with
http://bumblebee-project.org/

together require kernel 3 (backport) but it's more easy to use wheezy or
Sid.

I had testing Bumblebee with Fedora17 (kernel 3.4), it is also ok.

I own an Aspire 3628AWXMi since 2006, and Debian/Stable support was nearly
perfect as of lenny (5.0) (nearly, because audio recording is flawed).

I didn't managed to get HDTV running smoothly, though.

Second Hand devices are about 120 EU bucks.
