HP Pavilion 15ab 268 Ubuntu Compatibility?

[azitizz]

Hi there, I have an opportunity to obtain a new HP Pavilion 15ab 268 notebook. How well would this computer accept a dual-boot of Won 10 and teh latest or best version of Ubuntu for this make.

i cant find much info on it perhaps because it is fairly new.
thanks for any info.

Hm. That looks quite similar to the HP Star Wars Edition notebook I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on. This one's basically an HP Pavilion 15 with a bunch of Star Wars design and stuff added to it, but Intel I5, 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive. Can't comment about the Linux/Windows dual-boot part because I wiped Windows, re-partitioned, and installed Xenial. I don't do Windows anymore. I got an excellent discount, less than half of what I'm seeing it going for elsewhere.

The one thing, everything on the screen was smaller than normal, had to adjust everything up. Other than that, it took to Ubuntu 16.04 quite well. Not sure if any of this helps you at all. I've had great luck with HP notebooks and Linux, though.

I meant to type "Intel i5." Can't seem to get in to edit my post.
