buy an i3 instead, but what is the deign flaw which cannot be fixed via microcode updates?

For example I want know Lenovo ThinkPad 7000t work good or no Don't worry about the wireless adapter. If It isn't compatible, buy a nano wifi adapter [1] (are very cheap and compatible). The other hardware is more important because you can't change this if your election is bad.

What I did was to install the latest amd64 snapshot to a USB stick, boot that on the demo machines in stores, and save the dmesg to the stick so I could analyze it later for unsupported hardware. Most (but not all) stores here were willing to let me do this. I eventually found a model where everything I cared about worked. Dave -- Dave Anderson

You should print out the list of supported WiFi's and consult your notebook distributor when buying a note to be sure. Some distributors may provide hardware configuration according to the client's wish. I don't know how it is in your country. > On Dec 30, 2011 12:28 PM, "Vitali" wrote: >> >> On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 9:41 AM, Mostaf Faridi >> wrote: >> > Hello all guys, >> > After long time I want buy labtop and I want use it in my work place , -- ### Coonardoo - PQP8P=P8QP:P0 Q QQP=Q / The Well In The Shadow / Le Puits Dans L'Ombre ###
