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.
can't agree, I always take Nvidia, find it far more easy to use under OpenSuSE
Remember that we are talking laptops, which typically means hybrid nvidia-intel graphics, and these are a pain. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
