Slight reality check here - I've got an i5 Envy 15 that I bought a month ago, and although it had some problems with Linux for a while, I have no difficulty running it now with Ubuntu 10.04 beta. The issues I'm aware of were: - Touchpad click buttons don't work, forcing you to double-tap to click - Weird BIOS caused both TurboBoost (the Intel extension that powers down cores and speeds up others) and ACPI to fuck up, leading to no TB and no heat management, fans ran constantly, very bad news - Buggy sleep/resume Points 2 and 3 are fixed in 2.6.33+. Point 1 can be fixed via a patch to the synaptics module, but I just use an external mouse all the time anyway. I believe you can thank this fellow for many of these fixes: http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2009/12/21/linux-on-the-hp-envy-15/ http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2009/12/21/linux-on-the-hp-...
