I do know that this list is for real problems but I am looking to get
a new laptop, 17 inch preferable or an all in one computer. The
problem is I have only used Toshiba laptops and have had no problems
with them. I do not know if an all in one would be a good choice for
debian. I do not need a game playing machine. If there is a list
where this request is more appropriate please head me in the right
direction.
try the debian-laptops list here
in general - any modern laptop will run debian fine [with any DE you choose] with IMO the following caveats
1) Avoid ones with hybrid dual graphics ie intel/nvidia aka optimus
2) Avoid anything realtek
3) If its got fancy Dolby sound or quad speakers they wont work on Debian
4) Always check reviews for PWM flickering on screen dimming if you have sensitive eyes
I personally use Thinkpads as a lot of Linux devs use them.
