is this price range what you were suggesting?




Thanks all for the model suggestions and ensuring that KVM support is
available.

IN other words, if you were to buy a new laptop which one would you pick.

There is a resource listing debian compatible devices at https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn

A list of PCiE laptops is at https://laptop251.com/ssd-laptops/ (They are all intel though)

I wouldn't use a Dell or HP

I use acer as they are well manufactured. I assume ASUS and MSI are similar.

If I was forced to nominate a single laptop I would say Acer Aspire 7, AMD Ryzen 5-5500U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GTX 1650

This is because it has the right drive type and memory type so it can be upgraded where it matters. It's also reasonably mature so not so pricey and has had time for linux drivers to be developed. This does not exclude countless other options which will certainly be better on some criteria. NB I don't have this device and have chosen it only on the reputation of Acer and the documented upgrade path.
