Can anybody recommend a good laptop to replace my current macbook -
I would like 17inch screen, and runs Ubuntu ... bonus for NVidia GPU - I deep learn in the cloud but having a GPU to test on would be great.
Anybody know of this mythical unicorn?
- treehau5 10y agoI don't know if you are being sarcastic because you exactly described the specs of this https://system76.com/laptops/kudu https://system76.com/laptops/kudu in either case I fell for it
- malux85 10y agoAh I should have mentioned > 1080p (but thanks for suggestion)

- smilespray 10y agoRadical, dude.
- masklinn 10y agoGreat answer fulfilling literally none of GP's wishes or requirements.

- malux85 10y agoWow, I'm in love. Thanks.
- chrisper 10y agoJust know that Acer laptops have a history of overheating. I even experienced that myself.
- annerajb 10y agoIf they just upgraded it to a 1080
- striking 10y agoYeah, the $3100 sticker price just isn't enough, huh?
- thrill 10y agoNine pounds? Woah - I remember the days of lugging something that heavy through airports. Ugh.
- striking 10y agoDesktop graphics cards are pretty heavy. LinusTechTips put one on someone's back as part of a VR-on-your-person build, though, and they said it was perfectly fine.
- fullofit 10y agohttp://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-pro http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-pro Has a desktop Geforce 1080 in it, mechanical keyboard, Gsync display... drool.
- chrisper 10y agoThinkpads sound like something for you.
- shadowflit 10y ago17" screen + powerful GPU doesn't leave too many sleek options a la macbook. But if you look towards gaming laptops you'll find plentiful options. Ubuntu might be a little more difficult, depends on driver support I suppose. Most come with either no OS or Windows. Here's a search for 17" + 1060/1070 + 4k. I'd probably stick with 1060 to keep some sort of handle on heat management unless you really need more. I've had a good experience ordering from here in the past (Sager NP8660, great machine with an unfortunately large power brick). http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gaming-laptops-ct-118-96-98.html#!/dir=asc&no_cache=true&order=price&size=13&graphicscard=162-161&screentyperes=95-96&batterylife=&p=clear http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gamin...
