Hi,

I'm researching for a new laptop. I think the main issue is video. Is there a manufacturer I should avoid (NVidia/AMD) ?

I like this one : HP Probook 450 G5 Notebook with Intel® i7-8550U (1.8GHz, 8MB Cache, 4 cores) and 2GB Discrete NVIDIA Graphics - 1LU52AV NVIDIA graphix is GeForce 930MX.

TIA

Koenraad.

Avoid Nvidia. It will be a perpetual source of problems. At the very least, research Linux compatiblity of the chipset carefully. Also the Wi-Fi used, and Max memory that it will accept.

seems to be a contentious point. I actually look for and prefer nvidia, expecially for working photographs. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
