defaultxr: same, in fact my laptop's video card is too old to run CEPL I've only been able to run it recently at home.

that's unfortunate... i don't even know how recent cepl's required opengl version is, so i have no idea how old that makes your laptop...

i got a new laptop recently, all AMD, and it's definitely been the least trouble i've had hardware-wise on linux... so if you're considering getting a new one, i'd definitely suggest finding an all-AMD system if possible :)

its ~2012ish. I got to get a new one soon. One of the helixes of the fan broke. This makes the fan loose its balance and hit the surrounding plastic and making a somewhat loud noise.

ahh... one time i had a similar issue, where something seemed to have broke inside my laptop and caused it to make an annoying rattling noise... though in my case, when i opened it up, it turned out that one of the stickers on one of the parts inside had fell off and got caught in the fan

sorry about the amazon link, but here's the laptop i bought recently: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PB5M8DS/ . it's really nice. the only problems for me were that the SSD and RAM were too small. but i swapped out the 4gb RAM stick with a 16GB, and the SSD for a 1TB SSD

hmm... i guess i have no idea if you'd be able to get this shipped to peru... but if you can, it's worth it imo

My brother lives in Canada and is visiting in month so I can send it to him. But yeah. Amazon has surprisingly upped their game. I bought everything except the monitor and the case of my desktop on Amazon and it arrived in less than 5 days!

I like that it has a touch-screen. How is the Linux support, the wifi driver works ok?

and the touchscreen is pretty nifty. works flawlessly as well. the only downside of it is that the stylus requires a battery.. even worse, it's an AAAA battery, so i can't use any of the rechargables i have

but the touchscreen also supports actual touch as well, doesn't require the stylus
