As a fellow Fedora user I would recommend HP.<div><br></div><div>I've been through many manufacturers of laptops over the years but HP is the only one that has never given me any trouble.</div><div><br></div><div>I have two workstation spec laptops, one from about 8 years ago (8510w) and one from about 2-3 years ago (Pavilion dv6). Both laptops have only ever run Fedora from day 1 and both have been upgraded through the versions to the current. Everything works on both laptops, even the fingerprint sensors and all ports - all out of the box with no proprietary or extra drivers. As far as I can remember the only thing that doesn't work is the screen brightness control on the dv6, although I have never needed it anyway.</div><div><br></div><div>Both have been ultra reliable - nothing has broken at all on either laptop despite very heavy use (60hrs/week) and regular carrying around. Both have been dropped and survived with nothing more than surface damage. I've had to replace the battery on each a few times, obviously.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't advise you on the current HP lineup, but I know where I'll be looking when I come to replace either of them. The usual due diligence on which model uses Linux compatible parts is needed, but I've been super happy with them both.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Martin</div><div><br><br>On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 7:28 PM, Roy E. <kirpit@gmail.com> wrote:<br>
