I've had various Lenovo T series laptops at home and at work for over 10 years, either running Linux only, or as Linux/Windows switch-boot systems. The only reason I've ever had windows on any of those laptops is to run embedded development tools required by employers. The Linux part of the experience has been largely smooth and painless. Before purchasing, make sure that the video and wifi are well supported by Linux and meet the needs of your application, but I've found with most Lenovo's the laptops hit all the checkboxes for me.
I'm not trying to shill for Lenovo, there are certainly other quality laptops out there. I happen to like the pointing device and keyboard and general build quality, and I try not to spend a lot of time over-optimizing my purchases with a lot of research.
So, yes, I've had great experiences with Linux laptops.
- beefield 9y agoThe biggest trouble I had with my current T was due to me buying it immediately after launch, and it took some months before the usual distros started working with wifi and 3g modem without hickups.
