Many of the Lenovo T and X series there are well supported, mostly because they're often owned by FreeBSD developers or 'power users'. Regarding what stefan said about problems moving from a working T530 to a not-so working yet T540, it's a reminder that using the very latest models may involve adventures you'd rather not bother having, at least until you have a stable machine doing whatever you want it to do. Developers go for latest kit because, well, they have an insatiable urge to encounter problems and overcome them :) but many users will do better with slightly older laptops, like already well-tested superceded models, still coming with full warranty and usually with a hefty discount. It really depends on how close to the bleeding edge you want to travel! cheers, Ian
