Dear list, I need to replace my old IBM Thinkpad R50e, which is running FreeBSD 8.2. Currently, my favoured replacement is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E520. However, I am not sure how well FreeBSD would run on it. Is anyone using this laptop with FreeBSD? I ran several searches with Google, of course, but the models described in search results are either too old or too expensive, i.e. more than 1000 EUR... Consequently, I am also interested in other recommendations: If you are using an affordable laptop (say less than 600 EUR, i.e. 850 USD) with FreeBSD, please reply. My requirements are actually quite low: I need 3D acceleration (OpenGL) as I am developing scientific visualization software and a working WLAN card. Any extra features/hardware supported would be nice, but it is definitely _not_ a must. Thanks for your considerations. Kind regards, Bastian
