> Uh, everyone makes this? All decent laptops are Centrino these days Which laptop maker will sell a machine where every single hardware component is guaranteed to work perfectly under Linux? Without endless driver-hunting, Dependency Hell, crashes, and "small" but intolerable imperfections. My Centrino-based Thinkpad (circa 2007) failed to properly suspend the video chip under a perfectly-configured Linux, draining a freshly charged battery in only twelve hours. Note that I do not care if this (documented) bug has since been fixed. Neither do I care just who was at fault (the chip vendor, for failing to release docs; the slacking developers; the devil - I simply don't care.) Such cases are rampant, the culprits are unrepentant, and there is no vendor which will offer a money-back guarantee of nothing of this kind happening. > Suspend / hibernate also works fine with modern BIOSes. Which ones? Is this authoritatively documented anywhere, in real time? What is "fine"? Apple-fine, Microshit-fine, or sea-of-hacks-Gentoo-fine?
