If you can compromise on the HiDPI Screen, checkout the HP EliteBook 8X5 Series, they are amazing machines. You can plug up to 64gb of RAM into them if you need it, they run pretty smooth and my colleagues can run Linux on them without any issues.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoWow! Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Looks very appealing. I might get one! They're expensive, though. But it might honestly be worth it to me.
- yulaow 5y agoI want just to add that I am using a 8x0 g5 elitebook currently (because at the time there was not the 8x5 series which uses amd ryzens) and it's by far the best linux laptop I ever used in my whole life. Also very sturdy and looks great.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoI'm even more tempted. My XPS 13 Developer Edition was also a very nice experience on Linux. How is the trackpad?
- yulaow 5y agoWell you know, it's like the standard of the high end for windows laptop, still behind what apple put in their macbooks, but comparable with what you are gonna find on xps and thinkpad x/t.
- reacharavindh 5y agoLooks nice indeed. I have been spoiled by the excellent Retina display on Macs. For something literally in front of my eyes for a big part of the day, it must be good. I cannot see myself compromising to a lower res display :-( May be for others that are not as nitpicky as me….
- dzhiurgis 5y agoMaybe way to got is simple linux laptop for work and an iPad for everything else. Would probably still end up being cheaper than a MBP.
