Which laptop is better Asus X550lc-xx23d(i7/8gb/DOS/2gb Graphics-720) or dell vostro (i5/8gb/ubuntu/2gb graphics-850)

My requirement is linux os and use of virtualization software.

The configuration of ASUS is good but I am not sure with the support and reliability of the machine and issues I will face after installing linux

Suggest considering I am in India.

Get DELL. I try so many systems on mine that you can't imagine Both are good but for your virtual software better graphic is recommended.

Asus - more reliable. Better after sales service. Unless you're in India. Then its HP.

i will give you right answer:
"Sorry, we don't officially support Linux OS on desktop motherboards.
We recommend you using windows OS."
this is the answer from Asus support
