This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --BSLNK7Nl8isIaLLqmPmLS0HCfphISuCSj Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, if you don't need the newest model, I had a Lenovo T530 fully working (but never tested suspend) with FreeBSD 9 and 10. In the T530 you can also disable Intel GFX and use NVidia only. Since my T530 jumped from the desk ^^ I have a T540 now which is kind of unusable with FreeBSD :(( Haswell or Broadwell are still not supported with FreeBSD CURRENT. And you cannot disable Intel GFX anymore. Shame on you Lenovo!! The Haswell (or Broadwell) thing also means that integrated WiFi will not work. So if you want to use a Haswell or Broadwell NB be prepared to only have VESA GFX and Wifi via an external dongle. Both Sucks, if you try to really use this NB. This is OT, but I hope that at least Haswell GFX will be supported soon. I can live with the WiFi Dongle. But I cannot live with VESA. And I don't want to live with Linux any longer.
