new laptop

All I can offer is stay away from ATI, get Intel or nVidia for graphics. Brands that have traditionally worked well with linux are Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba & HP. Lenovo's are great work horses for linux based OS's.

Thanks for you anwer. Will focus on those 4 brands for now.

I am looking for a new laptop. Wont be buying it straight away but got a few questions.


What brands are the good or the bad as far as laptops are concerned? Which brand to stay far away from.
What about graphic cards? Are there brands that dont work with LL or that are a lot of work to get working correct?


I use my laptop for sending/receiving email, browsing websites, occasional watch a youtube video and use libre office (mostly Calc). I do a little work on photo's some time and i create my own customized rom for my nexus 6. I dont play games on it.


My budget will be  up to 450 euro
