I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:

  • Use it to run [email protected] stuff and Stable Diffusion.

  • Use it for games downloaded from repack sites. So for these two, it would need a decent GPU.

  • I would like to pull out the WiFi card. I have offline computers and online computers. No need for this to use the internet.

  • I would probably dual-boot Windows and Linux, or else have it boot Windows and use a live USB when I want Linux

Thank you all.

Money is no object.

It looks like Framework only offers entry-level Radeon GPUs.

If you want to do GPU compute in a laptop and money is no object, something from Lenovo's Legion series of gaming laptops is probably a good choice. You can get one with an RTX 4090 in it, and the series (or many models of it, at least) appears to have reasonably good Linux support. (Disclaimer: I've never used one.)

appears to have reasonably good Linux support.

Linux user for over 7 years, NixOS user for 2 years. Currently using HP Zbook 15 G3.

Can confirm, Nvidia experience in linux environment is S#!T in today's standards.

Random crashes everywhere! Everytime I do serious stuff (which is most of the time) I disable discrete graphics on BIOS Setup.

Back to you Raedon and Iris XE Graphics
