about this, but don't know where anymore. But if you want a good laptop, with a good video card, stick with Nvidia. It's really good supported with the proprietary driver.
… today. What's going to happen tomorrow, is anyone's guess. In case you're not aware of it, Nvidia's current binary blob does not support some of their older hardware. Whenever Nvidia decides that you should buy their new hardware, they'll just stop supporting your model. They have done it before, they'll do it again. Then, the next time there is a significantly-enough kernel ABI chance that their shim stub can't deal with, you're boned.
When that happens, and you (not you specifically, just saying this in general) come shedding tears, it won't be easy for me to feel any sympathy for you.
