HCL/Laptops

From openSUSE

Laptops and notebooks, because of their often unique hardware, have always provided challenges to any distribution of Linux. However, because laptops of the same model usually have identical hardware, a great help is to learn from somebody else's experience with that same model. Caveats are that some manufacturers use different hardware in the same model in different regions of the world.

The purpose of this page is to:

• help laptop owners use SUSE Linux on their laptops to both SUSE's and their laptop's full potential
• guide prospective buyers of laptops, regarding support for SUSE Linux
• identify issues with OpenSUSE that when fixed will over time make SUSE Linux the best Linux for laptops

If you have installed SUSE Linux on a laptop, notebook (or other device), please share your experience here with the OpenSUSE community, for the benefit of all.

PLEASE NOTE: We have no information yet about any Digital, Hitachi, Micron, Mitac, Mitsubishi, or Zenith laptops. Please help by contributing what you have learned/experienced about these laptop brands.
