Hello all,
I'm considering buying a "new" used ThinkPad X-series laptop to run
NetBSD and would appreciate hearing about real-world experiences from
others.
My current daily driver is a ThinkPad X230, which has served me very
well for many years. However, it's starting to show its age, and I'd
like something with better battery life, a higher-quality display, and
more modern hardware while still keeping the compact form factor that I
like about the X-series.
At the moment I have a ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 Yoga here that I'm setting up
for someone else with Ubuntu. Unfortunately, neither the Wi-Fi nor the
graphics seem to work properly under NetBSD, which makes me a bit
hesitant about newer models.
I'm therefore looking at some slightly older machines, such as:
ThinkPad X280
ThinkPad X390
ThinkPad X13 Gen 1
Does anyone have experience running NetBSD on any of these models? How
well do things like graphics, Wi-Fi, suspend/resume, audio, battery
management, and external displays work?
I'd be grateful for any recommendations, success stories, or warnings
before I start hunting for a machine.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Matthias
Hello Matthias,
I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad L380. Not the same you wanted, but maybe
it's woth it to consider. Working fine out of the box, including WiFi on
5Ghz, audio, display, HDMI port. Just works with NetBSD 10. Highly
recommended.
Suspend/resume: I'm not sure, I don't use it.
Regards,
FeZ
