I use GNU/Linux and I want all the hardware to be compatible with GNU/Linux.
I always prefer AMD to Intel.
The GPU should be an RTX 3070, I used to think that a 3060 would be enough but my friends have said that its 6 GB VRAM would bottleneck the card, and it won't be worth the buck.
I don't avoid Max-Q cards, like, how bad can they possibly be?
I've been waiting for the Ampere mobile GPUs since last summer, so I'd rather not buy a 20-series card.
The lack of a webcam is a dealbreaker for me.
