qwebirc42625hi all, I'm sure this is a FAQ but I cant find recent advice. I'm looking to purchase a new latop that is linux friendly. It will be mainly for development. So 15" min screen size. Budget is around 35k and I'd like to get it by mid-dec latest. 15:55
qwebirc42625Does anyone have any pointers?15:55
qwebirc42625the Acer Predator i7 looks ok15:55
qwebirc42625but linux support is not well documented15:55
qwebirc42625I'm not sure where else to look15:55
qwebirc42625thanks15:55
kulelu88qwebirc42625: try a Lenovo maybe? 15:57
kulelu88Most laptops are manufactured by like 3 taiwanese companies, so the internals are pretty much the same and kernel support should be reasonable15:57
kulelu88HPs might work too15:57
kulelu88although... for R35K, you could order a System76 (or get someone coming from murica to bring it for you)15:58
qwebirc42625I looked at the system76 but I've seen some terrible reviews lately15:59
qwebirc42625I'm just trying to avoid getting a mac-book pro15:59
kulelu88that's true too. 16:00
qwebirc42625thats what is currently being suggested16:00
kulelu88what was your last laptop? and are you new here?16:00
qwebirc42625entroWare would be idea, but not an option16:00
qwebirc42625I'm using a dell latitude. running ubuntu 100% (apart from the dual graphics card nonsense)16:00
qwebirc42625and yup, I'm new here :D16:00
kulelu88Dell XPS Ubuntu edition ?16:01
qwebirc42625xps 13 is the linux version, xps 15 does is not linux as such16:02
qwebirc42625tricky....16:02
kulelu88for R35K, you can get a top end SSD gaming laptop and dual-boot it with Linux and SteamOS16:03
qwebirc42625ok, thanks I'll take a look. So far I've only see then Acer Predator i716:04
qwebirc42625I'll check hp and lenovo then too16:04
kulelu88introduce yourself before you leave qwebirc42625 :)16:04
qwebirc42625oh, sorry. Hi I'm Andre :)16:10
qwebirc42625thanks for the help. I'll look around some more. Doing what I can to avoid Apple.16:10
qwebirc42625though I guess worst case dual booting on a MBP is not the end of the world16:11
kulelu88aren't Macs harder to dual-boot than regular Windows laptops?16:11
qwebirc42625yup apparently16:13
qwebirc42625+ the apple tax means you get a lot less hardware16:14
MaN1harder to dual boot - I wouldn't really say so16:23
MaN1but I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would willingly pay so much more for the same hardware16:24
qwebirc42625exactly16:25
qwebirc42625there are some nice asus options16:26
qwebirc42625sigh, but the asus arog's cause kernel issues for any kernel after 4.3 :'(16:33
