[HacktionLab] How t buy a laptop that will work with Linux

[U]

Thanks for the BDS link, I think that's important to consider (though we
must bare in mind that the supply chains for basically all of these
manufacturers link to conflict minerals such as tugsten and coltan etc from
places like the Congo).

I have a Clevo W230S, a custom gaming laptop that you can get from places
like overclockers, pcspecialist. I dual boot Ubuntu (and Mac actually) and
they run fine (mac not as well as linux). I'd not have recommended a custom
laptop before but I've had this since last October and it's really
fantastic for the money. Also really love not having any logo on my machine.
