Hello,
My Compaq CQ57 sadly gave up the ghost :-[ (I accidently dropped causing damage to the screen) so I'm on the market for something a little bit more durable and ultimately more compatible with eCS.
I quite like the look of the new Lenovo ThinkPad X131e. It shares the same WiFi chipset (it has a Centrino Wireless N 2230) as the other recent ThinkPad models so hopefully if/when WiFi gets sorted out it will work. Crucially, the BIOS lets users USB 3.0 ports act as USB 2.0 ports as well.
I would like to have 8GB of RAM mainly for the benefit of Linux but I was wondering if this would cause any issues with eCS?
Less importantly, I know that eCS can use up to 4GB only but is there any long-term plan to support PAE?
Cheers,
Dan
