I bought myself a new laptop – Lenovo T61 (15.4″ WSXGA+ TFT, Intel GMA X3100 GM965 integrated graphics, 100Gb 7200rpm HDD, 2Gb RAM, Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2GHz CPU, integrated bluetooth, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). I was really tempted by MacBook Pro, but Lenovo with similar configuration was almost twice as cheap, and still provided everything I need. And after all what is the point of running Linux in Parallels on Mac, when you need to develop for Maemo? 🙂
Unfortunately when I bought it in February there was no option to get it without Vista preinstalled, so the first thing I had to do was to install the proper OS. Now Lenovo offers an option to get T-series laptops with SUSE Linux preinstalled.
Ubuntu 7.10 installation worked as a dream – I didn’t have to hack anything at all – everything worked out of the box. Of course I had to configure the system to my needs, but user interface was sufficient for that.
Looking forward to Ubuntu 8.04 release now:
