I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:

Use it to run [email protected] stuff and Stable Diffusion.
Use it for games downloaded from repack sites. So for these two, it would need a decent GPU.
I would like to pull out the WiFi card. I have offline computers and online computers. No need for this to use the internet.
I would probably dual-boot Windows and Linux, or else have it boot Windows and use a live USB when I want Linux

Thank you all.

Money is no object.

I've had zero issues with nvidia on Linux lately. It works flawlessly on newer drivers, even on wayland.

Sweet, good to know! Always glad to see FOSS working better

Same. Probably about a month ago there was an Nvidia driver and I think Wayland update that took it from unusable on Wayland to quite stable.
