Hi all I'm in the way to buy a laptop theses days and would know if someone
could give me a good advice,
I need to install a debian (or ubuntu) system on it. I'll use the laptop for audio/video liveshows with pd/gem, with many GEM
objects so a good graphic card is needed
I have a max ~900euros budget.
Short story : Some years ago a bought an asus a8js with 7700Go nvidia graphic card, very good performances and linux friendly, worked perfectly with all
debian/ubuntu distros I've used and I've done a lot of lives and works with it...
BUT ! This card have burned and damaged all my motherboard ! This is due to a
very bad graphic nvidia (proprietary) driver, explanations here :

Now a lots of laptop are shipped with ATI cards, so my questions are :
- are ATI cards goods for pd/gem users ?
- is someone here have any advice on a good laptop for pd/gem use
Thanks in advance for any comment/ideas,
pierre
