Lenovo's Thinkpad line is still mostly pretty good with Linux, at least
when I was looking last year. Those business-oriented systems seem to be
developed separately to the consumer-grade ones which get in the news
for the wrong reasons. The business lines are more expensive, but you do
get a better built system.
Is anyone interested in distilling the kind of info we're discussing
into a nice 'how to buy a computer for Linux' website? Is there already
such a site? I did one quick search and found posts like these:
http://www.howtogeek.com/185286/how-to-buy-a-laptop-for-linux/
http://www.ebay.com/gds/Linux-Laptop-Buying-Guide-/10000000177741943/g.html
...but no nice friendly overview site. Maybe this is something we could
discuss/work on at a future PLUG meeting.
