<div dir="ltr">I recently purchased a System76 laptop (Galago UltraPro) and have been super happy with it. It runs the latest version of Ubuntu. I output to two 27" monitors at work and it has zero issues handling it. I would highly recommend them and the support has been great.</div>

I have a friend who lives in Holland. He's going to be visiting Columbus in a<br>
few weeks and would like to buy a new laptop while he's here. I've never<br>
installed Ubuntu on a laptop so I'm not sure what to recommend. I've added<br>
his specs below. Any suggestions for a good make and model and a local source?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
