| jfer | Hi. I was looking at purchasing a new laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions on laptops with good Ubuntu compatibly available in Australia? | 10:15 |
|---|---|---|
| * blahdeblah always buys Lenovo ThinkPad | 10:16 | |
| blahdeblah | X series | 10:16 |
| blahdeblah | I have an X230 at the moment | 10:16 |
| blahdeblah | Everything works basically out of the box on any modern distro | 10:16 |
| blahdeblah | I've always found that Intel GPU, NICs, & wifi cards are very well supported, but I've heard that AMD/ATI have made good strides recently. | 10:17 |
| jfer | I was thinking of getting the Inspiron 17 7000 | 10:17 |
| jfer | or the Dell Inspiron Oak 15 Main HS 5537 to be precise. | 10:19 |
| blahdeblah | I had a Dell Latitude D830 before my ThinkPads - it worked out of the box as well | 10:22 |
| blahdeblah | Not sure about the Inspirons | 10:22 |
| blahdeblah | If it's Intel & it isn't too new, I'd bet on it working pretty well | 10:22 |
| blahdeblah | Not sure about the NVIDIA/ATI GPUs, though | 10:23 |
| jfer | Hmm. It would seem that there are potential issues with the Hybrid graphics | 10:30 |
| blahdeblah | jfer: My wife has an HP Envy 14 with hybrid graphics and it sucked so badly on Linux that she gave up and went back to Windows | 10:53 |
