I bought my laptop from pcspecialist.co.uk a few years ago and
I've had great success with Linux compatibility. I believe they
resell various Sager/Clevo chassis and are geared around letting
customers specify component selection via their website, and that
strongly favours a selection of laptop chassis which are easily
configurable and therefore maintainable. My laptop has been a joy
to tinker with, indeed repasting the heatsinks last year was a
matter of 20 minutes work. As for Linux, I've tested the following distros on my laptop:
Ubuntu, Debian, MX Linux, SuSE Leaf, Solus and Fedora, and aside
from nvidia optimus headaches (which you won't have to deal as I
presume you aren't interested in discrete GPU options for strong
gaming performance) it's been able to cope with anything I throw
at it. I've put together a 14" spec for under Â500 at the following URL: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/ultranoteiv-14/y3yARTuT!m/ I hope this helps, Ed On 08/02/18 09:18, Pentiddy wrote:
