I hear Apple laptops usually support Linux quite well. My old HP nx7010 supported Linux well. But I had some hardware failures on the HP that makes me hesitate to recommend. Lately for any moderately expensive electronics I have been going for extended warrantees and it has been paying off. :) Regards Chris O'Halloran wrote:
Hello,
I am interested in buying a laptop. A key requirement would be that it ran Linux (Kubuntu) smoothly and that all the hardware was supported, not neccessarily by *open* source drivers as binary drivers would be okay eg NVIDIA drivers.
I would be interested to read comments on what would might be a good model or vendor and advice on hardware options that definitely struggle to work?
I realise that there are all sorts of websites for advice but sometimes the models aren't readily avaiable here. If someone has recently bought a laptop that they are really happy with Linux wise, I'd be interested to know.
Options I am interested in moderately large screen, nvidia graphics card, intel duo and linux support camera and wifi.
Thoughts, comments appreciated.
Chris
