For any newish laptop that comes with Windows, do yourself a favor before you install anything else - use the option to create a recovery boot medium, just in case you do not get it to work and need to return the thing. That said, OpenBSD tends to work rather well on newish hardware. There may be some oddities, but help is usually at hand via bugs@ or here. This writeup https://nxdomain.no/~peter/blog_wild_wild_world_of_windows.html (or prettified with trackers https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-impending-doom-of-your-operating.html) describes some fiddling with ASUS machines back in 2021, with pointers on how to debug and get help if you need it. Good luck! Please do report back on your experiences! All the best, Peter -- Peter N. M.
