The type of machine does not matter a bit. If you have wifi, and there is even a vague possibility you might use it, then install network manager.
Wait. It is not about what you choose to do, but what the installation system chooses for you, as defaults.
Side Rant:----------
Having a static that is not programmed into the dhcp server (in other words a usurped static IP) is just asking for problems, because when that machine is off, the dhcp server may lease out that iP, which makes for collisions which forces re-lease when that statically assigned machine comes back on line. And depending on which machine had its leased IP usurped, it can cause disruption all over the network.
Ive had database servers get knocked off line by some clown deciding that a static IP was the way to go, and he just grabbed one at random for his phone. So of course this disruption went on and off for days as his phone joined and parted the network.
