I’m thinking of getting a laptop to run Linux on. I’ve heard Lenovo is generally well-supported (particularly models that come with Linux pre-installed).
Is there any particular hardware I should watch out for / avoid, and / or prefer? Any other brands / models people would particularly recommend?
Avoid anything ultrabook for serviceability and upgradeability. System76 is also always an option. I’m personally biased towards the Thinkpad T-series. Avoid the E series because theyre just bad, and avoid the Yoga series because they are hard to service.
I love my T420, but I do not recommend it unless you can deal with a TN 768p panel (I.e. shitty) or you really like modding your stuff.
Oh yeah the T Series Laptops. Heard they come with armwarmers and thigh highs/j
Still got an Old T60 laying around, but I ripped off the mouse pad ribbon
