Best HP laptop for ReactOS
Hi folks, I will buy a new laptop and I found that those who comes with windows 10 pre installed are very expensive ... out of my budget.
Well, looking for another segment of laptops I found two that comes with FreeDOS pre installed and are a lot cheaper, and of course the aim is install reactos on the laptop.
I found these 2 models:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp ... /c05480943 (Intel Celeron N3060)
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp ... /c05085353 (AMD E2-7110)
According with the developer's experience, which of these models is more recommended for installing reactos and the drivers compatibility?
Thanks so much guys for your answers.

Celeron is good.
Buy the cd drive with the laptop. ReactOS can't be installed by usb.Optical drive Optional DVD+/-RW Double-Layer writer (sold separately or as an optional feature)

Re: Best HP laptop for ReactOS
There seems to be little difference between the two machines. Mostly the processor (which ROS doesn't care about), the graphics card (which tend to work equally well with VESA drivers) and the chipset (which may make a big difference but unless you know in advance which one's gonna have which chipset and somebody has already tested it in ROS, you can't predict which is better).
Some people have listed systems that they've tested at https://www.reactos.org/wiki/PC_ROS_Rigs, so that can work as a guide. But for most hardware, you can't predict much, you just have to try it.

See https://reactos.org/wiki/LiveUSB
Test these methods:
* You can test if vgal bootUSB build works in installing ReactOS using USB:

Re: Best HP laptop for ReactOS
Finally I had to choose the AMD:
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocumen ... c=mx&lc=es
The box arrives tomorrow and afaik there is no optical drive, so I must install reactos from usb or at least loading the iso from hard disk

Re: Best HP laptop for ReactOS
I wanted to add the HP Probook 4540s to the list (Which is NOT working).
But I couldn't, because reChapta V1 has been shutdown.

Re: Best HP laptop for ReactOS
After a day of fighting with linux and grub4dos, finally ReactOS is installed on the harddisk, but has some problems detecting the hardware (https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-14617), but while not reaching these new hardware wizards the system is full usabe.

Could you describe the entire process (as an algorithm if possible)?
Re: Best HP laptop for ReactOS
Nope, I did first a bootable usb stick with grub4dos and installed tinycore linux, also downloaded the required extensions to get QEMU working, and after copied a bootcd iso to the stick, so, I power on the laptop, selected to boot from usb, tinycore started, reformatted the hard disk, open a terminal, and start QEMU with /dev/sda as the hard disk (the real hard disk) and the bootcd as the cdrom device, was so easy and got ReactOS installed on hard disk from a usb stick.
