   # Acer
   
   ## Acer Aspire One 532h-2588
   
   As of current in July 2010:
   Missing speedstep support (reed has patch for this).
   No ethernet (Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet).
   No wireless (Atheros AR9285 Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g/n).

   # Apple
   
   ## iBook G3/600 with Radeon 7500 16MB VRAM
   
   Used since NetBSD 1.6 or so.
   Works nice with NetBSD/macppc.
   No suspend support on NetBSD.
   No modem support (some usb attached modem attaching as [[!template
   id=man name="ugen" section="4"]].
   No WPA on NetBSD with [[!template id=man name="wi" section="4"]] (in contrast
   to Mac OS X).
   NetBSD/5.1_STABLE has problem that keyboard doesn't
   work in xdm after logout;  solved by forcing a xdm restart upon
   logout.
   
   
   ## MacBook Air 11 inch (mid 2012)
   
   NetBSD/amd64 6.99.11 works without some devices (for example, internal WiFi).
   In detail, please see [[How to install NetBSD/amd64 current on MacBook Air 11 inch (mid 2012)|/users/ryoon/how_to_install_netbsd_amd64_to_macbook_air_11_inch]]

   # Fujitsu
   
   ## Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO LOOX P70WN
   
   NetBSD/i386 5.99.55.
   Wireless with wpi works properly only when ACPI is disabled with "boot netbsd -2".
   
   ---
   
   # HP / Hewlett Packard
   
   ## HP nc6120
   
   5.1 did not have a working X.
   
   Almost everything works with -current: sound, wireless, X11.
   Did not try resume/suspend.
   Did not try the memory card slot recently.
   
   5.1 and -current have wired ethernet stability problems.
   It gets watchdog timeouts and resets.
   
   X11 has a stability problem where a program can make total garbage on the
   screen (except the mouse pointer) and lock up the server. Repeatable with a
   certain image viewer which shows very big images. The machine does not
   freeze: power off button powers down smoothly, (but can not switch consoles to
   try to kill the X server).
   
   ## HP Pavilion laptop, dv9750
   
   NetBSD 5.1, audio, webcam, Ethernet, kb/touchpad work fine.
   Broadcom Wireless 4312 does not work.
   
   ## HP ProBook 4310s
   
   NetBSD i386 5.99.55
   Audio works (ADI AD1984A).
   Wireless with iwn (vendor 0x8086 product 0x4232).
   No ethernet (vendor 0x11ab product 0x436c).
   SDHC at sd*, Bluetooth.
   Doesn't work with NetBSD 5.
   
   ---
   
   # IBM / Lenovo
   
   ## ThinkPad T22
   
   Works perfect (sound, display, all devices, infrared port not tested).
   
   ## ThinkPad T61
   
   Used it since NetBSD 4.x.
   With Intel GMA, X works great.
   In netbsd-5 there is a patch to make trackpoint/touchpad initialize correctly.
   Requires  [[!template id=man name="hdaudio" section="4"]] instead
   of  [[!template id=man name="azalia" section="4"]] to make headphones work.
   Cardbus port doesn't work properly.
   Expresscard not tested/tried.
   
   ## Lenovo ThinkPad T61p
   
   Following -current for the last 18 months or so (2012-12).
   As close to perfect as one gets. Suspend/resume didn't work at the
   time; not tried it since.
   
   ## Lenovo ThinkPad T500
   
   in the version with ATI graphics. Has a tendency to run hot and then to not
   reboot cleanly (gets stuck after printing the mainbus line at boot);
   5min off for cool-down usually fix this. This doesn't usually occur when
   only the Intel on-board graphics get used. No known errors while running.
   
   ## ThinkPad X60s
   
   Everything works.
   
   ## ThinkPad X41
   
   Works fine (sound, display, all devices, bluetooth, modem not tested).
   Standby is broken for me in -current (~2012-01-12) but worked in 5.1.
   
   ## ThinkPad X61s
   
   Everything works. Requires `PCI_BUS_FIXUP` and `PCI_ADDR_FIXUP` [[!template
   id=man name="options" section="4"]].
   
   ## Thinkpad X201
   
   Running -current since March 2011.
   Working graphics (with the vesa driver), audio, trackpoint, wired
   and wireless LAN.
   Does not wake up after suspend (drives spin up but the display
   stays black and the LED indicating a sleep state stays lit).
   
   ## Thinkpad X220
   
   From user reports, in NetBSD 9.0:
   
   * Video acceleration works, but when using `xf86-video-intel` (the default),
     it's advisable to set `Option "AccelMethod"  "uxa"` in `xorg.conf`.
   * WiFi works, it uses the `iwn(4)` dirver.
   * Suspend and resume work.
   
   ## Thinkpad X250
   
   Nearly perfect. Running NetBSD 9.0 and -current since 2019.
   
   * Accelerated graphics with the i915 driver. Connecting externals displays
     works with the miniDP and VGA ports.
   * Working SD card reader, audio, ethernet (`wm(4)`), and WiFi (`iwm(4)`).
   * For the extra trackpoint buttons to work correctly, needs a patch to
     synaptics.c that is in -current and will be in 9.1.
     Tapping and the clickpad have always been fine.
   * Brightness buttons do not work in 9 by default. You can bind them to
     xrandr in your window manager.
   * Webcam will depend on upcoming xhci(4) isochronous pipe support.
   * Wakes up after suspend. I have mine set to suspend on lid close with
     powerd.
   
   ## Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E130
   
   With NetBSD/amd64 6.0
   
   * Bluetooth adapter is recognized as ugen0 (should be patched like MacBook Air mid 2012 11-inch's one probably)
   * Native X.org needs xorg.conf that has vesa driver entry, and sometimes X.org starts with slightly wrong resolution (xrandr is useful).
   * Sound is recognized as hdaudio, and not tested.
   * Network adapters are not tested. Wired LAN adapter is detected as re0, and WiFi adapter is not recognized.
   * Card reader is not recognized
