How well does it (the video) work with Linux?
Video is something I am trying to grasp as to what my needs are. The
reality is that I don't need huge video performance. I don't do gaming, I
do browsing and music.
If you don't want the extra power of the cuda cores on a dedicated highend
GPU from NVidia or ATI which can give impressive performance gains for
doing things like transcoding then you can live very comfortably with a
more energy conscious intel gpu onboard and the open source drivers.
I can run 1080p with most of the opengl API supported with an onboard
hd4000 equivalent

- Also make sure to check if the BIOS supports so called "legacy BIOS"
unless you are comfortable having to add a fat32 partition to install the
UEFI rootkit and spyware on your machine to give the NSA direct access to
your backdoor. Some people care about that kind of thing.

Almost 2 yrs ago I got a custom configured machine from
http://www.endpcnoise.com/ that's been running very nicely.
They installed Ubuntu on it.
