Hi Guys,
I am so glad that I've found this forum!
I am planning to buy a laptop from PcSpecialist but I want to run either Ubuntu, Fedora, or Suse on it, but as many others wrote on the forum, I got a warning message that the specs I chose might not work with Linux.
Anyone have experience with the config below? Are there any difficulties during install/usage? I do not plan to create a dual boot system with windows. Linux will be the only OS.
