I've been really happy with the performance of my laptop (a 2016-era
Asus ROG Strix GL502vs) for MD work. It's a gaming model (GTX 1070
rather than Quadro, and an i7 CPU), but it's solid and seriously
powerful. I dual-boot Fedora and Windows (I initially tried with Ubuntu,
but its setup crashed in the middle of rearranging the hard drive
partitions leaving me too scared to try again). It works nicely enough,
other than the occasional issue with kernel updates breaking the Nvidia
driver and/or GRUB.

Dear CCP4 community,
My 8-year-old Dell Inspiron with Ubuntu 10 is waving goodbye and I
would ask for some help on this bulletin as buying/setting up a new
workstation is common trouble in our community.
Has anyone recently set up a laptop for structural work with all the
MD, docking, etc. _in silico _simulations? Is dual boot Linux/Win
still a thing, or do you rather run Windows virtually (which VM
software)? Are there any known issues with Nvidia Quadro P series GPUs
or Intel i5&i7 processors? Has anyone tried Xeon/ECC on a laptop? Does
Ubuntu LTS still win the hearts of non-enthusiasts?
Any successfully tested laptops (with names and/or listed
configuration) are very welcome and any answers that include fruits or
hamburger names may be kindly avoided :)
Thanks a lot,
Domen
