I’m the market for a new laptop - considering MacBook Pro m2, but also looking at Linux alts. What’s the suggested options these days?

- heavyset_go 4y agoI picked up a Dev One and am very happy with it and its Linux support. If you can't find one, it's just a rebranded Elitebook 845 G8. Otherwise, System76/Clevo are the usual recommendations, along with certain Thinkpad models. Here's what r/linuxhardware recommends: https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/1073j9f/recommendations_for_a_linux_laptop/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/1073j9f/reco...
- toastal 4y agoWe running up on the next generation of laptops soon. I got a Lenovo Z13 and it's been pretty good. The performance is there, having hiDPI without 4K meant I wasn't needlessly wasting power. It offered 32 GB of RAM (with DDR5 making it higher bandwidth). The display upgrade covers 100% DCI-P3 for color work with decent accuracy out of the box. The integration with fwupd has been awesome—something I had yet to experience in the couple of laptops I ran through. My biggest gripe: I wish it came with 1 USB-A (maybe a micro SD slot).
