I'm not a "Brand wars" kind of retard, that's just corporate shill shit. But if you want modern hardware and the smoothest possible Linux experience, there's really only one choice. There's especially no excuse to use Nvidia GPUs, because the drivers are atrocious. I'm definitely going to wait and get an APU in my next laptop.
