If so, thee have been some report of X issues. The NVidia is useless at this time. They only provide support for Windows and have officially stated that there will be no support for Linux or anything other than Windows, though some folks are working on support. Too bad it does not have a three-button mouse like the T-series, but it should work OK. The wireless should be fine. It's what I use and it's had very few problems, none serious. The camera on my T520 is not supported, so I would be dubious of it. HDMI should work. 1920x1080!!! I'm drooling a bit. --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
