Thinkpad X61s and Linux
Selecting a laptop has always been a hard task for me. There’s so much choice at the first sight but when it comes to making the decision, each model is lacking some feature you are looking for. This time was no different. I was looking for a light, tiny (12-13”, preferably wide-screen) and reliable Linux-compatible laptop. After weeks of research I went for Thinkpad X61s.
I went for a Lenovo Thinkpad since this is the technology I know and trust.
Thinkpad X61s is a tiny laptop with a 12 inch regular LCD. It weights about 1.1 kg and features:
* a 1.6GHz Intel Core2Duo CPU,
* 2GB RAM,
* a 120GB hard drive,
* and mostly Intel hardware (including a video card, sound card, wireless card).
The last point is especially important to Linux users since Intel is known for its decent Linux support.
