[omaha] Laptop Recommendations

[Mike Hostetler]

If you don't mind spending a bit more, I recommend one from System76:

https://www.system76.com/laptops/

I bought mine a couple of years ago and I really can't be happier. The
machine just works, and they always have instructions on how to upgrade
Ubuntu when a new version comes out. The one or two times I had to ask for
support they were extremely fast and courteous.

They come with Ubuntu installed but they give you instructions to install
and duel-boot into Windows if that's your thing (it's not mine . . . )

You can customize it and they will built it after you order. I have a code
for 10% off (essentially free shipping)
