Lenovo Announces 27 Systems To Ship With Ubuntu Pre-Installed

Still can't find a good replacement for my Thinkpad X230. Tried an X280 but sold it because I kept losing the (proprietary to Lenovo) Ethernet dongle. I thought this and the soldered RAM thing were to make the chassis thinner? The Thinkpad L13 is thicker but still uses soldered RAM and requires the special (and lose-able) Ethernet dongle. If they're trying to copy the Macbook I'm not sure what they're thinking... Consumers who want a Macbook are going to buy a Macbook, not a Thinkpad with Macbook-inspired lack of ports and lack of ability to repair/replace components

Great to see the T in there.
Of course, I'd get rid of Ubuntu asap, but as long as it works with Ubuntu, it will work with your favorite distro just as well.

Dell's footsteps. Good move. Been buying Dell linux for the last 5 years for business(and personal), because the derps making thinkpads couldn't pronounce it, much less support it. Hope they ramp up support to follow the OS image they plopped on there.
