Lenovo X201 works well. Not exactly modern but a nice machine and more than adequate.
- seryoiupfurds 12y agoT420 is great too, so long as you have Intel graphics and wireless.
- eropple 12y agoCaveat laptopor. I installed OpenBSD on my X201 just to give it a shot, and the battery life is atrocious.
- Mandatum 12y agoI've heard only positive things when using OpenBSD on Lenovo X2XX's. What window manager are you using?
- eropple 12y agoGNOME. It's significantly worse than either Windows 8.1 or Hackintoshed OS X.

- sudowhodoido 12y agoThis. People mustn't expect everything to ever work straight out of the box on anything. Much like you have to install the Lenovo PM driver on windows, you have to config apm on OpenBSD. This is also well known.

- nodata 12y agoThey certainly can expect that, remember how it was before when nothing worked out of the box?
- sudowhodoido 12y agoYes. Even worse than that, I remember when the box contained a pile of bits and you had to sift through piles of manuals to assemble it all first.

I don't for my Hackintosh. And I don't install the Lenovo PM driver on Windows. Windows update may, but I don't.
