[Hampshire] Lenovo laptops
I'm thinking of getting a Lenovo ThinkPad SL510. General googling indicates linux should work ok with it. However; I was wondering if anyone had any good or bad experience with Lenovo laptops and linux?

I've just bought a ThinkPad Edge 13, and so far everything on it seems to be working OK with Debian testing.

Lenovo thinkpads usually work well with Linux hence a Linux Thinkpad list. linux-think...@matrix.de Martin N Running MorphOS v2.4 on Mac Mini, Moderator of MiniDisc,amithlonopen,bwfc Yahoogroups -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Hi, I've installed a mixture of Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 on a number of older Lenovo machines (T42, X31) and they all worked first time. Cheers, Paul.

Re: [Hampshire] Lenovo laptops
Hi, I've used IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads exclusively for about 7 years now - because I *hate* touch pads, I can use the track points, and the Thinkpads are now the only laptops I can find that use track points. Anyway, I've had a total of eight, of various vintages from a TP 530, up to the recently introduced X100e, and they have all run Linux (various flavours: currently Ubuntu, but also Debian, RedHat/Fedora, Slackware). The only one I've had a slight problem with is the X100e which, being a very new model, the Linux Thinkpad support hasn't quite caught up yet - but even it mostly works, certainly well enough for me to use it for work. They are relatively expensive, but I believe the build quality is second only to the aluminium unibody MacBooks. Oh, they are generally fairly easy to dismantle (in laptop terms), with plenty of web pages showing how, and no self destructive plastic clips or the like. I love 'em!
