I'm looking to buy a Inspiron 5491 with i7, 8GB, 2 in 1 configuration. I'm currently using my old MacBook Pro (2012) and switching to Ubuntu. So my plan is to wipe Windows 10 and go full Ubuntu Focal Fossa. I have read problems with the Inspiron 5491 like no audio and WiFi problems witch probably will be fixed on a full install. My concern is that I pay 1000 euros and end op with a laptop that doesn't have a functional audio jack. I asked Dell if I can return the laptop within their returnpolicy (14 days) if I install Ubuntu alongside or on an external disk. I asked 2 times (diffrent employees) and both times they said no. Not sure what to do now. I searched all the internet for the last couple of weeks and can't find anything with the newest Ubuntu.
My main question is: will Ubuntu 20.04 work properly (minor tweaks are fine) on the Inspiron 5491
If there are some alternative 2 in 1 options, pleas let me know. I need an Ubuntu laptop with
- at least 2 usb A ports (not trough a c hub)
- SD-card reader
- HDMI and DP (trough a c hub is fine, need docking with 2 screens attached)
- a 14 or 15 inch screen
- a keyboard with no num-pad so the track-pad will be in the middle
- 10th gen i7
- 2 in 1 convertible
- Upgradable memory to at least 16gb but 32 would be nice
- Intel integrated graphics is fine, an nvidia battery friendly is okay too
Yes, I know there are special Ubuntu,Manjaro,System76 laptop options, and I know my list is pretty long, but I think I found my laptop with the Dell Inspiron 5000 2 in 1 series
PS: new to this forum, hope I'm doing okay and thanks in advance
