| ryzokuken | but this does not have an SSD | 18:46 |
| RajRajRaj | ryzokuken: i have used asus myself | 18:50 |
| RajRajRaj | lenovo is great too | 18:52 |
| RajRajRaj | asus sucks at support in india | 18:52 |
| ryzokuken | lenovo says they don't have linux laptops with i7 | 18:53 |
| ryzokuken | someone told me dell can get you an ubuntu laptop if you can wait | 18:53 |
| ryzokuken | but they said no too | 18:53 |
| RajRajRaj | dell sucka at hardware quality | 18:54 |
| ryzokuken | hmm | 18:54 |
| RajRajRaj | what is your budget? | 18:55 |
| ryzokuken | what should I buy? | 18:55 |
| ryzokuken | under 80k is fine | 18:55 |
| ryzokuken | the important thing is to find one that doesn't come with windows preinstalled | 18:55 |
| RajRajRaj | checkout this list https://support.lenovo.com/in/en/solutions/pd031426 | 18:55 |
| ryzokuken | the budget is not a problem | 18:55 |
| u-la-la | [ Linux for Personal Systems ] - https://support.lenovo.com | 18:55 |
| ryzokuken | RajRajRaj, so all of these systems can be ordered with the mentioned linux variants? | 18:56 |
| RajRajRaj | ryzokuken: contact customer care once you made your list of choice | 18:57 |
| ryzokuken | RajRajRaj, every single lenovo thinkpad seems really overpriced | 18:59 |
| ryzokuken | are actual showroom rates different (I think they are) | 18:59 |
| RajRajRaj | ryzokuken: amazon prices are ok | 19:00 |
| ryzokuken | RajRajRaj, E470 seems fine | 19:02 |
| ryzokuken | it does not have an SSD as well, though | 19:03 |
| RajRajRaj | ryzokuken: do consider asus if you have some trusted repair shop near by you. http://www.amazon.in/Laptops-Asus-Computers-Accessories/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A1375424031%2Cp_89%3AAsus | 19:03 |
| ryzokuken | I don't think I would go ahead and buy this for 70k though | 19:03 |
| u-la-la | [ Amazon.in: Asus - Laptops: Computers & Accessories ] - http://www.amazon.in | 19:03 |
| ryzokuken | ASUS offered the same specs with linux for 57k | 19:04 |
| RajRajRaj | asus is great | 19:05 |
| RajRajRaj | only support sucks | 19:05 |
| ryzokuken | RajRajRaj, I have a few quite nearby | 19:05 |
| RajRajRaj | if you know repair shops n have good contacts. just buy asus | 19:05 |
| ryzokuken | 11-12 around the city, must be fine | 19:06 |
| ryzokuken | about the SSD though | 19:06 |
| ryzokuken | how much difference would an SSD make | 19:06 |
| ryzokuken | what do you think? | 19:06 |
| RajRajRaj | usually asus hardware quality is best so fraud shops steal parts from asus | 19:06 |
| ryzokuken | https://www.asus.com/in/Laptops/ASUS-FX553VD/specifications/ | 19:06 |
| ryzokuken | this is what I had in mind | 19:07 |
| u-la-la | [ ASUS FX553VD | Notebooks | ASUS India ] - https://www.asus.com | 19:07 |
| ryzokuken | take a look | 19:07 |
| RajRajRaj | ssd can make aroud 5000 - 10k rs difference | 19:07 |
| RajRajRaj | Graphic | 19:08 |
| RajRajRaj | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 , with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM >>> not good i guess | 19:08 |
| ryzokuken | Not a GPU power user, so its fine I guess | 19:09 |
