Well at least I can tell for my T510:
- crapvidia card : VESA only, so 1280x1024 or a little more on a FullHD
panel (ugly), and on Linux Nouveau crashed 3 times a week... I intend to
get the specs from nvidia somehow. Beware of the "optimus" things too,
supposedly mine had it but it seems it needs a BIOS update, and support
for the OS (=driver) to get it working. if I ever have an integrated GPU
it fails to appear on the PCI bus.
- back then we didn't have a driver for the NIC so it didn't work. I
think we have it now.
I should try a recent build someday and report some more.
François.
