Hi Pravin , Check out https://system76.com/ This company offers multiple laptops that are linux certified. Dell XPS 13 is a very good laptop for Ubuntu Users. http://zareason.com This company offers multiple laptops that are linux certified.
I am sure if you really want a Linux / Unix capable laptop you can get a good laptop from the above list. Personally I would suggest that you buy a Mac Laptop thought it is a little costly. It is very very developer friendly and also has a good screen which is eye friendly. Please dont start the FOSS and open source flame against apple. I personally see that many developers here in Atlanta choose Mac Pro laptops as the personal choice of development platform. -Abhijeet On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 2:30 AM, <plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in> wrote: > Send plug-mail mailing list submissions to > plug-mail@plug.org.in > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in > > You can reach the person managing the list at > plug-mail-ow...@plug.org.in > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of plug-mail digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
