Lenovo t400 compatibility?

Post by OOHnirav »

I'm wondering if another user here who has already set up LinuxMint has experienced any notable hardware issues using a Lenovo t400.

Using previous laptops, I have struggled with incompatibility hardware issues involving my stock wireless card (Acer: fixable, but it's a pain...) or internal microphone (HP: I never could fix it). Having recently purchasing a t400, I'm considering going exclusively with Mint instead of partitioning my already limited hard drive. These are the specs as given by my purchase order:

If there is any other information I can offer to help, please ask and I'll try to post it promptly.

Also, I've heard that a decreased battery life from Windows7 is evident. Is this true? and if so, how much battery life am I looking to lose here?

I look forward to any help that anyone here can provide. Thank you.

You know, why don't you download the Live CD, burn as an image, and experience it yourself . . no one else can judge your requirements as you can do yourself . . :)

I have a Lenovo netbook, it has all Intel equipment installed on it. Everything is working great (webcam, wireless, microphone audio, video) my battery life is no less then what Lenovo reported with Windows. I never once booted Windows on my machine. I would also try the live CD. This website may help you discover expected problems:
