If I wanted to buy the sweetest laptop available that works well with OpenBSD 5.7, what would I buy?
- foodstances 12y agoDepends what specs you want, but a ThinkPad X240 would be well supported.
- chrissnell 12y agoInteresting. I want a "developer-class" laptop. Well-built, moderately fast, reliable. The reviews on Amazon for that X240 complain about a crappy trackpad. Wonder if there are other good options.
- eeZi 12y agoIt's not that bad.
- mmarx 12y ago> It's not that bad. As someone used to the trackpoint on an X201, yes, it is practically unusable.
- davidgerard 12y agoThe trackpad on this series is not the greatest - I'm finding precision not very good. (X230 running Xubuntu 14.04.) There's probably some setting to make it less annoying.
- erglkjahlkh 12y agoProbably not anything new from Asus. I just recently purchased one, and it's pure UEFI. The newest models have begun removing the options to enable "legacy mode", so you can't run legacy operating systems anymore. This will probably become more and more common, and after the next couple years it will be extremely hard to find any good laptop that would run openBSD.
