Unable to find a list of ubuntu capable laptops

Asked by Mike Cooley

I am looking for a "modern" laptop computer model that I can purchase and load Ubuntu on. Ubuntu and Linux hardware lists seem 5 to 7 years out of date. I would prefer an Intel I5 or better cpu.

Depends on the components. If you find a system you like the look of, search for the model and see if it runs OK with Ubuntu.

Avoiding Optimus GPU nonsense will make your life easier. Try for a Broadcom wireless chip too. They are cheap and easy to setup (or find one that works out of the box)

You can also go to companies that preinstall Ubuntu and use that.
