Help! Kali compatible Laptop

[adriana.durazzo]

Hello Everybody!

I'm new around here and I would like to get some advice.

I will buy a new laptop and I was interested in the Dell Inspiron 15 (7560)
Since it already comes with Ubuntu I think it would work with Kali...but you never know!

So I would like to get some info and I greatly appreciate any info you can give me about it.

Specs:

7* Gen Intel® Core™ i7-7500U 2.7 GHz
Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (pre-installed)
16GB, DDR4, 2400MHz
SSD de 128 GB
NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX de 4GB, GDDR5
Dell Wireless™ 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0

So, would it be fully compatible with Kali or does it have issues?

Thank you all for your attention!

Adriana (and all other "hackers"), repeat after me:

Kali is highly specialized distribution, not a general-purpose OS. It is to be started and used off bootable USB/DVD, and not to be "installed".

So, your Dell with its installed Ubuntu is quite good. If you are interested in security / penetration testing, download Kali onto an USB drive, boot of there, mess it up, then reboot back into your normal Ubuntu.

Do not install Kali. Kali is not meant to be installed and used as a desktop OS. Kali is designed to be used from a USB stick as a pen tester.

You need to research Kali and then use it properly.
