Heyo, what Windows laptops are you providing these days? I'm possibly going to jump ship and it's about time to get a new laptop.

Heyo, what Windows laptops are you providing these days? I'm possibly going to jump ship and it's about time to get a new laptop.
- artursapek 8y agoThinkpads are #1. System76 and the XPS 13s are also a hit.
- wcfields 8y agoThere’s been a half-dozen LVFS / System76 drama threads[1] in the past week alone. Despite whatever your feelings are on BIOS, the general consensuous from S76 owners are the laptops aren’t that great.

- artursapek 8y agoIt's a newer thing on our team for sure. Time will tell if System76 are a good choice.
- raesene9 8y agoThe laptops I see most often mentioned as competitors to the MBP are Lenovo X1 Carbon Dell XPS 13 (inc. the developer edition which ships with Linux) HP Elitebook 840
- spamizbad 8y agoMy advice: for less drama, stick to ones with Intel graphics only. I've seen people have great luck with the Thinkpad T and X series and Dell XPS 13. I use a Dell XPS 15 with a Dell TB16 dock but I'm not sure I would recommend this configuration to everyone: The machine and dock are very picky about what kernel I run, and I can't get the combo working correctly with suspend/resume on Ubuntu 18.04 (sticking with 17.10+kernel 4.15.18 for now). WiFi also needs to be manually reconnected every hour or so.
