Skr3w Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hey all! so I’ve been using Kali for a couple of years but using a vm and a persistent usb, I feel like I’m ready now to get a dedicated Kali machine and was just looking for some laptop suggestions 🙂 The cheaper the better! Thanks, Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap_Sig Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Most laptops will run kali. I would suggest 64 bit and invest your money in CPU and RAM. The other thing is if you can budget SSD it is a very good investment wise of speed and preventing HDD failures on mobile systems. I have used $100 eBay laptop with no issue all the way up to $1,700 laptops. The biggest thing you will face is compatibility of the internal WiFi adapter but if you plan to use an external than this is not a big deal.

Hack That Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Personally I have Lenovo t520, someone mentioned SSD drive, I have 2 same exact models, one SATA and one SSD. I use SATA for Kali dedicated, and SSD I have Win 10, and VM with Parrot. So far, it is nice to have dedicated T520 for Kali. I never thought I would put stickers on things, but just got tetra last week and ordered nano today, now my kali laptop has hak5 sticklers all over it! Sadly, I tried to root my Samsung Tablet as it had no tethering capabilities for the nano, it is bricked - now I will breakdown and spend $$ on probably used tablet with tethering capabilities for nano. Definitely nice if you have extra $$ get separate laptop. I bought signal booster from Hak5 also, have Yagi antenna on tri-pod (really awesome), 3 different external wifi adapters useful in Kali for pen-testing. I have always thought of myself as a minimalist, but now all this equipment I have and am getting is insane. I love the tetra, getting used to it, and nano will be awesome. I think the coolest part is the community - i saw some idiot had written an article regarding tetra and software support - blah blah - in the end he had no idea how to get into linux and pen test is my take, the Linux foundation also has free intro courses I am taking that!

nikmel420 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I have an old dell, an alienware dual boot. And a gpd pocket. My fave is the 7 inch pocket. But only the old dells internal wifi adapter works. so theres realy no need for an expensive laptop. The old dell i got on ebay for around 100 works just as well as the alienware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalachawal Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The Acer Predator Helios 300 remains impressive. Its GPU is quick enough for Kali Linux and pen-testing. Solid design throughout and has reasonable ergonomics. This Acer machine has enough speed and quality to give an excellent experience.
