Please see the list below.  These come from a popular press article, but 

I cannot post the URL as the university that provides this email 

rewrites all URLs, and thus I have no certainty that any URL I post (or 

is embedded in any thread to which I respond) will not be corrupted.



At the end of the popular press account, there are mentions of specific 

laptop models.  As I do not have the time to research this, but a number 

of students want to know, which if any of these are SL 7 compatible 

(meaning, all hardware is "supported")?  I assume that a larger number 

are Ubuntu supported, in that Ubuntu keeps closer to the "bleeding edge" 

of Linux hardware support.



Thanks for any specific information.

How to buy a gaming laptop

They're cheaper, lighter and more powerful than ever before.

If your priority is smooth gameplay, I'd recommend a laptop with a 

15.6-inch 1080p screen and either NVIDIA's GTX 1060 or 1070 Max-Q GPU. 

The former will run most games well at 60fps and beyond, while the 1070 

will let you reach even higher frame rates and better-quality graphics 

settings. Mid-range machines like HP's Omen and some of Dell's Alienware 

models are a good start. If you've got a slightly bigger budget, you 

should consider laptops with high-refresh-rate screens: MSI's GS65 

Stealth Thin, Gigabyte's Aero 15X, Razer's Blade and pricier Alienware 

configuration.



But if you're on a budget, stick to machines with the GTX 1050, 1050Ti 

or 1060 Max-Q, like Dell's G3 and G5 series. You won't get 

high-refresh-rate monitors with these, but they'll have enough 

horsepower to reach a silky 60fps. They're ideal if you're mainly 

playing MOBA titles and undemanding games like Overwatch.



It's easy to get overwhelmed by the number of options today, but that 

variety is ultimately a good thing. What was once a category filled with 

huge, ugly monstrosities now includes genuinely gorgeous machines that 

aren't much heavier than a MacBook Pro.
