Seeking advise for new computer
Hello all. I am currently using a Lenovo ideapad 320-15 IAP laptop. It is a bit under powered for my tastes. I would like to find a laptop that is linux friendly and won't bust my budget. I went through hell to get a linux disttro installed, and still have a hassle to install other linux OSs. For some reason, my computer refuses to let the installer install the grub2 package. I have to install the os without the boot loader, then install boot repair and update grub, all in the live usb, before my first reboot. Doable( obviously ), but a hassle I'd prefer to avoid with a new machine. I've many people on the forums, including some the more experienced folks who have helped me numerous time, speaking of the Lenovo thinkpads.. I looked, and can get one with nice specs for around $700.00 or so, doable even on my budget. If that box is a good choice, I'll stay with Lenovo, but I am open to suggestions. Preferred minimum specs would be (aprox) 2.0 ghz, and 8gb ram, PCIe m.2 ssd would be a nice touch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm a firm believer that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
