Well fuck. This laptop was nice, then the hinges decided to remove themselves from the mount points. Also a metal side rail mananaged break as well...

Anyone have good suggestions for laptops? Prefer machines with a distro of Linux on it, but not afraid to install

Budget?
Desires (such as portability)?

Chromebooks

Or if you have time, patience and willing to experiment, you could start with a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, get the rest of the parts like power bank, portable monitor and HDD. Together you can make a customisable laptop/tablet, multiboot to RetroPie, Kodi and Fedora

@jhh2450 Good build quality, preferably aluminum housing, portability and battery life are the main areas I care about.

Trying to keep this under $1k

@Toshib-htr Dell XPS 13?

@Toshib-htr Hmm. I'll look around a little bit.

@agentQ Was going to suggest that, but the under $1k version has some weak specs.

@smallTalker thanks for the link, but I'm in the US

Lenovo has decent laptops with good prices.
