OEM/brand means nothing ["HP", "Dell", etc...] It is all about the model.
And ***INTEL*** video, always. No Optimus/nVidia ever, never ever - just say "NO!".
Latter contradicts former a little bit. I completely agree with your first point, that's why I've got Asus Zenbook, where RAM can be expanded to 12GB (4 on board and additional 204pin slot) and hard drive can be easily replaced with any msata, and the beautiful screen of 169dpi, and of course high-quality aluminium casing, thinkpads do not have a chance next to that laptop. However, it came with optimus, which I've never ever used, blacklisted nouveau and installed bbswitch to keep optimus always off, and happily using intel video. The only negative of that laptop is 24GB on-board SSD, which somehow hangs openSUSE installer for 40 minutes or so on hard-drive detection stage, which is again issue I'm having once a year at most. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
