I would avoid the Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd generation if I was you (I'm
writing this on one).
The 1st gen is much better (my wife has one) and I hear that the 3rd
gen is too, but just stay away from the 2nd gen (so much grief).

Some quick googles only turned up articles about RHEL on Dell Laptops

Yup. And it'll be slightly cheaper, since you won't be paying for an M$
license Just make sure to spend more, though, and buy a business-class
machine, not a consumer grade even Dell's are less good.

Hello,
Has anyone used the Dell M3800 (ubuntu) laptop to run CentOS 6.x? If so how did
it work out?
Also does anyone have a fairly new laptop they are running CentOS 6.x on, that
they are happy
about? I am in the market for a new laptop and it must run CentOS 6.x.

On Fedora 12 you have the middle and right button with the trackpad

etc.). It works very well.
