Help me choose a laptop (detail in post) to use with linux!
by Minibus93 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J3Z0)
Hello,
I've been using linux since one year, and I went to the point that for my daily use I find myself much more confortable in linux than w10 or macOS.
Now, I need a new laptop that I'm going to travel with (I take a lot of trains)
Budget: 500 at max
How I want my laptop to be (in order of importance):
11'-13' display at max
(since I'm gonna travel a lot with it, I want it to be small)
FULLY compatible with Linux, please this is really important. I need a fully compatible machine to rely on while I travel
(I've used a lot of laptops with Linux, I know not all of them are compatible with it in a reliable way. Please only suggest laptops with touchscreen function if you're sure it works perfectly with Linux, otherwise don't)
A good battery life
(Since, again, travel laptop I'd like to not have a 3 hours at max life of battery)
Good specs to handle without problem most of things for daily usage, not going to game on it.
(Just because I know how to i3 or xfce, I don't want to be forced to use them to have a fast usable experience. I want the specs of the laptop to be able to handle without problem things like the heavy gnome and heavy customized KDE. Also I don't want to lag while having various tabs in browser or multiple applications open at once. Nothing too heavy, I'm not going to render videos on it, but you know, I want to have a nice experience without worrying to much about optimization)
Solid materials and the more slim/lightweight the better.
Hope you guys can help me and thank you in advance!.
I'm so excited to finally doing the step of fully relying on a linux machine for important things in my life.
Purchasable on Amazon would be much appreciated
