[thinkpads_123]

Hi, Everybody:

I am about to order this laptop:

Lenovo N100 Notebook (076822U)
Processor Operating
System RAM
(std) Hard Drive Media
Intel® Core Duo processor T2300 - 1660MHz Microsoft Windows XP Professional 512 100 DVD Recordable (Dual Layer) 24X Max

Wireless : Bluetooth

The one most attract to me is the Graphic Card:

Onboard Graphic Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 with Turbo Cache Onboard Audio:

And this guy get 7300 running , and Nvidia already support this chipset.

Right now I am kind of worry about the Wireless, does anybody run into trouble with this? or can anybody tell me in general how to make the bluetooth work with linux?

Or is there any other type of thinkpad come with a Nvidia?

I'll appreciate if somebody can share some experience with this type of laptop.

I am planing to install Ubuntu 5.10.

Thanks.

Any other type of ThinkPad? An N100 is not a ThinkPad.

Just find out N100 is not a thinkpad, I may actually ask in the wrong place, sorry for that.. but my question still the same, is there a thinkpad come with a Nvidia?

FYI: I installed Ubuntu 6.06 (SMP kernel) on a Lenovo 3000 N100 - and it works perfectly. Better than Windows XP even.

I don't foresee ever returning to use Windows XP on my laptop - even though I already paid for it.

There hasn't bee a Thinkpad with a nVidia card in it since the G40 and G41, which had nVidia FX cards; from that and the FX card performance, IMO, I can see why they went with ATI for the rest of the Thinkpads.

I was a user of IBM OS/2 from version 2.0 (circa 1992) to version 3.0 Warp. AFAIK, ATI is the only video adapter manufacturer (there were a handful) that IBM supported in OS/2 2.0 that is still around today. So IBM has had a long relationship with ATI. Therefore it's not surprising that ATI was given preference in the ThinkPad line.
