Kristoffer,

Thanks for the input.  I'm looking at a system 76 laptop.  I like the
fact that they disable the intel ME on ubuntu installs.  I would
certainly like to have a high DPI display so I can fix some of the high
DPI issues in KiCad but that drives the cost way above what want to
shell out for a laptop which I would only use when I'm traveling.

Cheers,

Wayne
