Avoid nvidia dgpu (especially 1050 series have a lot of problems in linux right now) and you are good.
I would suggest t480s of lenovo, dell latitude 7940 or the latest 15inches dell precision with just the igpu (I don't remember the correct codename)
Note that I suggest only laptops with easily accessible and replacable ram, ssd, wifi card and especially battery. T480s has actually one 8gb ram soldered and another dim up to 32gb (for a total of 40), but it' s still my preferred
In a month lenovo is gonna release a new t495 with the new ryzen3000 processor and vega gpu. If you can live without thunderbolt three, they should surpass by far performances and battery life of the intel version (but eait for a review)

We have several desktops at work running Ubuntu 18.04 with 1050 series and there are no problems whatsoever, more stable than my 1060 at home in fact.
- yulaow 7y agoI had problems only with the laptop version, and again it's because the shitty nvidia support for its optimus technology and the fact the drivers are still not good for the specific laptop dgpu under linux Tbh it's workable, not like it totally fuckups your config, it's just a pita and often a single kernel or nvidia driver update breaks all the acpi config and you have to fix them again. I want a system that just works after installation or updates
