Re: [PLUG] Laptop recommendations

I just bought a new laptop last week.  I went with an MSI GE62 from Microcenter.  The version I got has a 15.6" screen, 16GB ram, and 1TB spinning disc, though they seem to have two different versions now.

You might look at a Dell Inspiron.  There is the XPS 13 Developer 
Edition, which is delivered with Ubuntu, but is just a bit over your 
price range.

In addition, there is the Inspiron 7000-series 2-in-1 (where the 
keyboard folds around back to make the unit more like a tablet), 
available in 13", 15" and 17" screen sizes.  You can get the 13" with 
touchscreen, a Core i7, 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $1,100.  A year 
ago I bought myself the 11" version, they were still making them with 
enough power to be useful then.  If Ubuntu and its relatives work for 
you, they are well-supported on Dells.
