[18:22] <ryzokuken> hi all!
[18:22] <ryzokuken> anyone up? Needed a little help.
[18:44] <RajRajRaj> ryzokuken: whats up?
[18:45] <ryzokuken> RajRajRaj, wanted a decent linux laptop
[18:45] <ryzokuken> could not find any
[18:45] <RajRajRaj> what options do u have?
[18:46] <ryzokuken> not many
[18:46] <ryzokuken> Dell and Lenovo refused
[18:46] <ryzokuken> all laptops with i7-7th have windows preinstalled
[18:46] <ryzokuken> I have an option from ASUS
[18:46] <ryzokuken> http://www.amazon.in/Asus-FX553VD-DM483-15-6-inch-i7-7700HQ-Graphics/dp/B06XJ4RMW7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499366030&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+fx553vd

[18:46] <ryzokuken> but this does not have an SSD
[18:50] <RajRajRaj> ryzokuken:  i have used asus myself
[18:52] <RajRajRaj> lenovo is great too
[18:52] <RajRajRaj> asus sucks at support in india
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <RajRajRaj> dell sucka at hardware quality
[18:54] <ryzokuken> hmm
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <ryzokuken> RajRajRaj, so all of these systems can be ordered with the mentioned linux variants?
[18:57] <RajRajRaj> ryzokuken:  contact customer care once you made your list of choice
[18:59] <ryzokuken> RajRajRaj, every single lenovo thinkpad seems really overpriced
[18:59] <ryzokuken> are actual showroom rates different (I think they are)
[19:00] <RajRajRaj> ryzokuken:  amazon prices are ok
[19:02] <ryzokuken> RajRajRaj, E470 seems fine
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <ryzokuken> ASUS offered the same specs with linux for 57k
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <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/
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <RajRajRaj> Graphic
[19:08] <RajRajRaj> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 , with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM  >>> not good i guess
[19:09] <ryzokuken> Not a GPU power user, so its fine I guess
