>From what I read in the past I think the T series has more support
than the other series, but maybe I am wrong. After the options that
are offered to me, it seems that the T series model I could get with a
Nvidia chipset would be the T520 with the i7 2630QM CPU and the Intel
5205 wireless card. From what I have read, the wireless card should
work fine on FreeBSD, but I have read that some people had problems in
October with the BIOS and GPT. I assume these problems do not apply
with the MBR? WHat about the sleep modes with the T520? Does suspend
to RAM and suspend to disk works?
Thanks!
