[CALUG] new laptop and desktop

[Tim Spangler]

I’m all about the custom build rigs.  Ryzen 3 will be available shortly, and would be my recommendation unless you have a really specific need for an Intel based system.  By all means, startup a thread.

 

For what it’s worth, the parts I picked up on Black Friday for my most recent system were:

 


Ryzen 2700X


Asus ROG Strix X470-F


Corsair H150i


Samsung 970 Pro 1TB


G skill Flare X  F4 3200C 14D-16GB


Corsair Carbide 275R

Hi All,

 

I seem to be in the market for a Linux laptop and Desktop...

 

I've seen a lot of reviews that recommend the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition,

I was curious about what the LUG would recommend...

(This should be able to run Mint [possibly Gentoo] and virtualize Windows...

and will mostly be used for school with some minimal gaming [mb Hollowknight])

 

As for the Desktop I'm planning to do a 'build your own' rig... if you're interested

in helping me pick parts for performance, budget, and compatibility please let me know

and I'll start a thread..

 

-Edward
