marcuniq | 9 years ago | on: Best laptop for linux (probably Ubuntu)?

I have a T440p and dual boot Win10 and Ubuntu. Everything works out of the box, except the Nvidia GPU. Switching between Intel and Nvidia is possible, but for some unknown reasons I can't boot with Nvidia activated. Configuring the Xserver was not straight forward for my use cases (dock with 1 monitor/laptop only).

marcuniq | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which laptop brands are worth shortlisting for Windows work/development?

I have personally tested 40+ business laptops(Lenovo, HP, Dell) in 50+ dimensions (performance, display, wlan, heat,...) . In our assessment Lenovo came first, then HP and closely after Dell.

The difference between consumer and business laptops is enormous in terms of reliability and how long they last, even from the same manufacturer. In our experience, the only "consumer" laptops which can keep up with the mentioned business laptop brands are from Apple.

PS: Check out projektneptun.ch for reasonable configurations of Lenovo/HP/Apple laptops. I own a Lenovo Thinkpad T440p.
