asus vivobook s15 s510un (slim, 1.7kg, full hd, 128 ssd, 1TB hdd, 8/16 gb ram, 2gb nvida)

- dual boot with linux and windows ( disable fast boot and startup in windows). buy with global warranty. very good for programming and overall. for heavy video editing, chck reviews, may not work.

believe me asus is the one of most underrated brand for laptops.

I'm happy with my System 76. It comes running Linux, and with all the nVidia GPU driver + CUDA setup done. https://system76.com/laptops I got the 15" Serval with 4K display and 64 GB RAM. It's big and heavy, but they have light ones too.

There are alot of Clevo resellers. People have options, but System 76 is the only one people mention anymore. It's a shame.

Oh, so System 76 are resellers of Clevo? I had no idea. Nice to hear that Clevo are still around :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

or buy polarized lenses with the opposite orientation. if you turn your head 90 degrees can you see the screen?

This led me to wonder: why isn't there a default orientation for things you look at and another for things you look through?

Monitors dont even come with the same orientation.
