Hi everyone, It has been some time since I have been on this list, as things have been very busy with life lately. I was just looking over some of the recent postings and I am glad to see that everyone is still working hard at helping each other. I am coming to a new point in life in which I need to buy a new laptop. And I am committed to staying with openSUSE, so I just wanted to throw a quick email out there and see if any red flags pop up for anyone. The laptop I want to buy is the ASUS ROG GL551JM-DH71 Notebook. It has the following specifications: Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64 bit) Processor: Intel Core i7-4710HQ Haswell Processor Speed: 2.5GHz (Turbo up to 3.5GHz) Memory: 16 GB System Memory (DDR3L) Video Graphics: NVIDIA GTX860M 2GB GDDR5 Hard Drive: 1TB 7200 RPM Optical Drive: DVD±RW/CD-RW Display: 15.6" FHD (1920*1080), matte Webcam: HD Camera Network Card: Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet Wireless Option: 802.11AGN Bluetooth: 4.0 Card Reader: SD, MMC, MS Audio: ROG AudioWizard Keyboard: Illuminated Chiclet Interface: 3*USB 3.0 ports 1x Headphone-out & Audio-in Combo Jack 1x LAN RJ-45 1 x HDMI 1 x mini Display Port I am just wondering, does anyone know if there might be a problem with setting up dual boot and opensuse 13.2, or a problem with the nvidia driver, the network card, or the audio when I install opensuse on the machine? I did find that the nvidia driver available for download from nvidia does support this card, but I was wondering if anyone has some experience with this driver. I couldn't find anything more specific on the network card other than that it is "integrated", which I assume means it comes as part of the motherboard. Is that right? Once before, a few years ago, I bought a laptop that the network card just wouldn't work well with opensuse. It worked fine in windows, but not in opensuse. So I was stuck with it for about 2 years until I finally sold the laptop and got a different one. So that is kind of the main thing I am thinking about, and if anyone has some experience with this laptop it would be great. also BTW, I am not a gamer, even though this is a gaming laptop. I am looking at this because of the performance specs. Any thoughts or advice? I would appreciate it.
