I am in the process of acquiring a new notebook with the primary function being to run darktable. Are there specific areas of primary and graphics processor that I need to be aware of in order to use dt's full functionality?
I am currently consideringpurchasing a Lenovo W520 .... does anybody have experience of this machine, with dt, running under Ubuntu?
