Hi List,
Would it be possible to "offer" the Leap 15 desktops tested on one/some reference HCL Laptop(s)?
If so, I will opt for and suggest the most current Linux UB laptop, Dell XPS 13 Dev (9370/2018), which is delievered with supported Ubuntu 16.04 LTS from Dell. If Leap 15's "laptop pattern and drivers" manage to install and run streamlined in a dualboot setup, both users and reviewers will truly be happy ;)

No response here so far on this, so I try a little bit further:
HCL laptop - "Hardware Compatible (List of) laptops for Leap 15 https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Laptops
More general remark to this page: When looking at it fist I thought 'uh, its empty', until I determined that small green band with even smaller text listing the various brands. This size is nothing one (=normal user) can change. Maybe a suggestion for the admins/heroes? On the topic itself....a good idea. Finding suitable hardware for Linux is always a PITA, and there are many pages or special interest groups out there, and the hardware described is mostly aged. (looking at my own collection of hardware and hints for ThinkPads, that seems to be a look back into computer history...issues when moving from KDE 2 to 3....Even the ThinkPad webring still exists...wow) Aged hardware itself must not be wrong, esp. if you work aside of the mainstream (my old T520, started with openSUSE 12.1, has now a SSD and TW, no need to buy a new one). More burning the question will be if it works on brand new hardware - so if anyone can get a new device for testing, I feel it will be mostly welcome. Maybe we can even add a link from https://www.opensuse.org/#Leap (or #Tumbleweed ) to the hardware list (Does my device run openSUSE?)
