Best Linux Laptops (2013) 13 years ago
Asus N550JV (non touch) All but the Subwoofer works with Ubuntu 13.10 with minimal configurations. Samsung EVO SSD a must have. Only issue seems to be with a 7 port USB 3.0 HUB plugged into one of the USB laptop ports. This screams and replaced my homegrown AMD/ATI desktop. Heavy on Photography, games with Steam and video editing. External SATA 3.0 dock with OEM drives swapped out. ~150+ MB/sec. Best laptop I could find. Clevo is fast, but..... I returned the System 76 / clevo due to mSATA overheating. 3 Months, zero complaints with Linux running on this. It comes with Windows 8 and a slow drive. Never booted it. Went straight to SSD and Secure boot Ubuntu on a new install.
