Cheap Linux Gaming Laptop

Cloned a Linux Drive in a laptop without a single problem. Worked well, made well.

This Gaming Laptop is a solid choice for those who appreciate a machine that balances performance with practicality. It's equipped with Intel i7 ensuring that it can handle the demands of the latest games and multitasking with ease. The 4050 GPU delivers crisp, clear graphics, making every gaming session a visual treat. The Onyx Gray finish gives it a mature, sophisticated look, while the 15-inch display offers a generous view of your digital endeavors. It's a bit on the heavier side, but that's a small price to pay for a laptop that's as reliable as it is powerful. Whether you're gaming, working, or both, this laptop is a dependable partner for the long haul.

I use mainly for programming but some games like AoE. - screen is big, brightful and clean - processor is one of the most powerful, with 20 threads is incredible the difference to my previous i5 10th with 14 threads. Multi tasking is more accurate. - it's not a gaming laptop so to say, but has video graphic cards, so having a powerful proccesor is not a total waste if you want to play some games time to time. You can save a lot of money. - Drive is fast and lot of storage: I have windows for gaming and linux for developing. 512gb is quite enough, but if you need more you can add an extra drive. - Memmory is ddr5, 16gb is far enough to start. Maybe in some years I'll need to expand it, you know, chrome tabs :D - retro lighten keyboard is comfortable, wide and has numpad very useful - weight is not so light but not of the most highest, still easy to transport. In my case, I do home remote developing, so not need to transport every day. - ports are good, just I have to notice is you have to force unplug not so easy. I have energy, hdmi, usb and ethernet cables and when I have to move to another room is quite a hard task - battery is double long to my previous, now it longs 2hours heavy developing - sound at maximum is lower than my previous notebook, but I'm using linux maybe some drivers issues.

very quite and keeps my gaming laptop running cool.

This is the most powerful gaming laptop that was available at the time I purchased it.

I work with two Kubuntu 12.04 Linux workstations continuously connected, and a Windows 7 employer's Lenovo 530 laptop that I connect every evening on returning home and disconnect every morning when heading to work (via a Lenovo docking station continuously connected). My monitors are dual Dell 3007 2560x1600 dual-link DVI, keyboard Avant Stellar (PCI connector via USB adapter), with a Microsoft wireless mouse. When using the laptop, I can use its screen in addition to the two Dells. I can switch among these seamlessly. I even have the less-used Linux workstation normally sleeping, as it wakes up properly as soon as I select it. A nice touch is that one Dual-Link DVI cable of each pair has the USB and audio cables integrated into it, keeping the wiring rat's nest manageable. The only annoyance is that, inevitably, because the external monitor configuration for the Windows 7 Lenovo 530 at the office differs, I need to reposition some windows when moving between home and office. But once I got the Windows configuration set up properly, the laptop at least automatically recognizes which monitor configuration it's connected to. (Because the DVI outputs of the Lenovo docking station are single-link, it's necessary to use its HDMI outputs and interpose Accel HDMI to Dual DVI converters between it and the MiniView.)

I needed this to add 5GHz capability to an old laptop that I was using as a router. The big antenna on this adapter makes it 2-3 times faster and much more stable than my old means of connecting. For Linux, you need to get the driver package from the website, don't bother with the included disk. I used the latest version, I simply ran the install script in a terminal window, and it was up and running, that easy. The adapter unplugs from the base and can be plugged directly into a usb port if necessary, the antenna is hinged. The base is weighted and lets you move the adapter around for the best reception. Really can't come up with any negatives. It is hard to find a 5GHz USB Wifi adapter for Linux, and this one works very well. I'm sure the Windows and Mac support is as good.

Needed an small portable HD to carry with my laptop. This HD is small, light, fast, and has the capacity that I was looking for. I have a linux and a NTFS partition on it and is working great. No extra cable needed to power it up. Great design.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

Bought a second to use with the laptop. Works on everything I've plugged it into - linux, windows, etc. Makes cad work much easier, easier on the wrist for me, and works where you don't have a reliable surface for a mouse. On my HP laptop, I can intermix touchpad, this trackball, and touch screen all at the same time...very cool.
