Ken,

Thanks. What is the wifi you have on the laptop. If you can check, that
would be great. The choices they give are:


Integrated WiFi wireless LAN adapters
   1.      ThinkPad b/g/n
   2.      [$0.00]
      Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
   3.      [add $20.00]
      Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN)
   4.      [add $40.00]
      Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3x3 AGN)
   5.      [add $55.00]
      Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250

If you can check, that would be great.

Cheers,
Sunay

You can use the Lenovo Thinkpad 420s with the NVIDIA NVS 4200M graphics chip.

Guys,

I was curious if anyone recently tried installing osol on a new
laptop. I was looking at Lenevo line which has few laptop with
Nvidia graphics but they all seem to have some chip for wifi
that I can't recognize. Seems like Toshiba has no laptops with
Nvidia chips.

Would like to hear brand/model that someone brought recently and
seems to work well (specifically graphics, ethernet, wifi).

Thanks,
Sunay

I'm using OpenIndiana on Lenovo Edge i3-370M:
Intel  i3, 2.4 GHz, 3072kB cache,
6 GB RAM,
14" WXGA 1336x768,
WiFi Intel 1000 BGN
What doesn't work: wifi, suspend to RAM, fingerprint logon (but that obvious).
Didn't try card reader.
What works - everything else.
