If you need a Linux laptop, I think it's wise to look at the appropriate ThinkPad models first. Of course, if you can get away with desktop-only or workstation your options are a lot more interesting.
- crms1496 8y agoIn my experience Dell laptops also provide a great Linux experience.
- anon1253 8y agoNote Carbon X1 is not the appropriate one ... which I learned the hard way
- anothergoogler 8y agoAgreed, commented about the X1 a couple months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16715851 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16715851
- peatmoss 8y agoSeconding this. For the price you can have a desktop at work and at home. The hardware will work flawlessly, and with much better performance as well. Ask yourself whether working from the coffee shop or couch is really critical or even beneficial to your productivity and mental health. My biggest realization with workstations is that they are more of a location than they are a computer formfactor. Habituating yourself to work in the work... place liberates you to not work everywhere else. Back in the day, portable computers were luxuries for the important people in a business. Now I see the true luxury is NOT having a portable. EDIT: Seconding both the Thinkpad recommendation as well as the suggestion to reconsider a workstation.
