Optimus VIII linux config

I run Linux, mainly Ubuntu, on the Optimus VII and apart from a few problems with the GPU using nvidia drivers did not have any problems and i think you should be fine with that. On some machines I have found that Debian needed WiFi firmware at the time of installation but I think that has been cleared up now.

Personally I go for with a fast m2 SSD and have a 7200rpm HDD for my storage drive.

Do you need this for your work? If not, an Ultranote or Cosmos with integrated graphics would be cheaper.

If your work does benefit from a dedicated graphics card (or if you do gaming), the GTX 1050 ti is ~35% more powerful for only about £50 more.

The laptop can benefit from the 960 Pro.
