The USB C/Thunderbolt port works well with external monitors, and I've recently started using an e-gpu for blender and it's also pretty stable.

<p>I bought a Purism laptop. It's been mostly OK - I had to return
the first one with a dead screen, and the second one still has
keyboard problems (half the space bar doesn't work). A friend also
bought one, and had to return it because of build issues. I love
their approach, and the privacy-first attitude, but their build
quality doesn't seem to be up to scratch. Not such a huge crisis,
though, as I can take the cover off and fiddle with the internals
to my heart's content - they even encourage this (not something I
could say about my old MBP!).<br>
</p>
<p>Really nice having a Linux-native laptop - everything does what
it should do and there are no compatibility issues.<br>

<p>I'm probably going with system76 next time, I hear only good
things about their stuff.</p>

<pre>Hi Guys,
I can vouch for System76, I just bought a Lemur Pro, and all I can say is great laptop, light, powerful and while I'm Debian geek, the Pop_OS is well featured and very smooth on the Lemur.
Well worth the purchase.

Thanks

<pre>Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a <2kg Linux laptop. This time around, I'd like 99% hardware support, particularly including lid open and close, suspend and resume, because that's the killer feature of my crusty MBP. What are the chances of that with LXDE, or perhaps LXQt now Lubuntu LTS ships with that?
I don't mind using another distro. 1080p preferable. External monitor(s) required. I don't know much about docks, but I suppose that's a good idea.
<a href="https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop</a> looks useful - I could spend a bunch of time sifting through options to see what's available in AU. No surprises that Dell and Lenovo feature there.
Any thoughts? Where to buy?
Thanks,
Greg.
