As I said in the beginning, I have a strong "emotional" attachment to Lenovo. And traditionally Lenovo laptops have been very good with Linux. There is even a site dedicated to Linux users and IBM has some excellent on-line free tuition for linux users. See this page for information on which models Lenovo considers to be particularly Linux friendly: http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/faqs/pc-life-faqs/what-is-Linux/ See the bottom of the page: What Lenovo laptops are certified to run Linux? But NVidia has shown itself recently to be fairly Linux unfriendly and has been problematic. I think that it may be OK with proprietary drivers, but the free ones seem to involve the addition of Bumblebee and a lot of fiddling. I don't know whether all current Lenovo laptops have NVidia graphics. The certified ones probebly don't. > The acer is pretty new model, comes out her in 15. Oct. i think... In general terms, "new hardware" and "Linux" in the same breath rings alarm bells. There could be driver problems. Forgive me for the gaps. It is late and I need my bed. :-( Lisi
