just starting on my computer science degree, and im looking for a laptop to replace my 2009 imac, so literally a chromebook would be a step up for me. but im wanting something thats good good specs, is durable, and isnt windows. i also kinda suck at making installation disk, so i started looking into different companies that ship with linux and im liking system 76 lemur for value and upgradability, but ive never seen one of their laptops before or seen a lot of reviews for them, and seen dozens of reviews raving about the xps 13, so that seems like a good safe option, but if i can get the specs i want for about 600 buck less in a good quality laptop, why pass that up? -{ 8 gig ram, dualcore i7, 250 ssd, at least usb 3.1 and sdcard reader}
so should i go with the lemur or xps?
or if you have some other option..
