| I am in the process of looking to buy a new laptop for running linux,
but I want it to have the nvidia chipset for the video/graphics
display. Anybody known any models on the market that I can consider? I
have been using an Averatec laptop for some time now running Mandriva
linux just fine, but it uses an S3 virge chip. I want a laptop that I
can use for high end gaming, opengl, etc. I have several PCs with
nividia graphics cards so I am most familiar with installing the nvidia
linux driver and would prefer to thus stick with nvidia. I guess I
would consider a different high end graphics chip based laptop (ATI,
etc) if the opengl linux driver for it was readily available.
I know about http://www.linux-laptop.net but I can not see any way to
easily drill down through the categories to find laptops with nvidia
chipsets for the video. I am hoping some of you have a laptop with
nvidia chipset for video. |

Howdy Beowulf,
I have been looking at the MSI "whitebook"(1) notebook PCs to build out and
resell with Linux preloaded like we do with desktop and tower PCs in my
business. MSI has "whitebook" notebook models with nVidia chipsets. So far
I have not been able to find these at our distributors so I cannot offer
you one. But you might be able to find one prebuilt with Windoze on it by
looking at the sellers they list off their site:
http://www.msicomputer.com/NB/index.asp
Look at the models listed under [Whitebook Solution (AMD Platform
in Green)]. I am personally interested in their MS-16332, MS-1035 and
MS-171772 systems.
(1) Whitebook = unbranded with no CPU, no RAM and no HDD. Add your own.
