Choosing a laptop for ubuntu?

Question

ubuntu

Tell me, I want to take a laptop purely for ubuntu, are there any requirements or nuances when choosing a laptop? Or does it matter? Now I use ubuntu as the second OS on the PC. Physically, it is on a separate disk.

Answer 1

Buy year old models. Where people have already stuffed cones.
In general, look at the list of supported systems.
No OS - lottery
Windows - a little better than
Linux - generally good
But understand what often the manufacturer does to hell and after half a year you are left without support

Answer 2

There is only one nuance: support for a network card / Wi-Fi.
Be sure to check the network adapter chipset before purchasing. Some realtek models have terribly crooked firewood, or they don’t exist at all.
The rest of the hardware shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 3

When choosing a laptop a year ago, I looked at:
1) Is this model on the market with pre-installed linux.
2) Looked here: https://certification.ubuntu.com/ in search of a vending model.
3) After choosing a model, google "problem_name". And in the bourgeoisie. If something is, then such problems can wait for me.
As a result, I bought a LENOVO IdeaPad S340-15IWL, 15.6", IPS, Intel Core i5, rolled Ubuntu 16.04LTS there and was very pleased.

Answer 4

It doesn't matter, the only Nvidia video card can have nuances here))))
PS and ubuntu began to eat a lot of resources, compared to the rest.

Answer 5

Machines are generally taken for the task, and not for the OS (we do not have 1996 with the 95th Windows that came out, which did not go everywhere).
Your beloved ubunta will run on any laptop, up to an Atom calculator.
