I'm thinking of getting a new laptop. Currently the wife and I share an old Dell which is setup for dual-booting Winblows and openSUSE. We frequently end up bargaining on who gets to use it on a given day.
I would like a laptop that can run Linux well, has supported hardware, high quality video (CAD drawings), is light weight, and preferably under $US 1000. Brand is not high on the priority list but customer service is.
What laptops are list members using and how was your experience (installation & use).
Thanks, Tom
Thanks for all the recommendations. Has anyone used a Lenovo Yoga 2 with openSUSE? This is about the size, weight, and price I'm looking for although the lack of an internal DVD and non-expandable RAM are drawbacks but not show-stoppers. I've used Lenovo laptops before at work but that was always with windblows (XP & 7). I've heard they work well with Fedora and assume they would also work well with OS.
