I'm looking to get a laptop and put Mint on it of course and I'd like the community's opinion on what's best supported. I'm okay fiddling with settings but would like everything to work eventually. Here's basically what I'm looking for:
- Hard drive and RAM upgradeable (not soldered onto the motherboard)
- Light (< 4.5 lbs)
- Not too expensive (< $1000)
What say ye?

A) the ability to disable UEFI and use BIOS instead.
UEFI is troublesome for linux at the moment so you need the ability to switch it off.
B) a single graphics adapter.
Most machines appear to come with hybrid video cards, which should be avoided if possible. If you can't find a machine with a single HD AMD/ATI, nVidia or Intel video then the better the specs of the Intel video the better because you'll have to switch off the HD card and use only the Intel.
