Laptops which run Arch

migizi · 2011-01-26 15:31:27

I'm using a Lenovo T410s model 209G2U

I set the BIOS to use the Nvidia NVS3100 only.

Using XFCE4.8
Everything works perfectly. I did load tp_smapi from yaourt.
I'm not using the fingerprint reader but I did have it setup at one point.

I'm running a IBM Thinkpad T60p

Using XFCE4 and everything runs great. I have a few kernel panics when adjusting the brightness on startup, and sometimes when I come back from sleep mode but it runs great. No complaints what so ever. I did have the fingerprint scanner set up at one point like migizi but i also don't use it. Networking, sound, display, and most other devices worked right out of the box including the turn off bluetooth/wireless switch. All in all i eat and sleep archlinux and have no plans to change in the future. Archlinux FTW! thanks guys for making such a great OS and a fantastic wiki to go with it!

Acer travelmate 5742

jeremypv · 2011-02-11 17:09:40

repurposed my old Lenovo Y410 and everything "just works"

Running x86_64, with xfce4

this laptop actually became my main PC now, connected to a 22" LCD monitor (1920x1080)

the only things that I haven't tested or used are the firewire and modem

battery life seemed to be longer now (more than 2hrs) than when I was using Windows 7 Ultimate, to think that I have VirtualBox with XP running on it

also tried to install it on an Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T, but I gave up on making the WiFi work (it's just a bedroom computer anyway, so Windows it is)

Dell Latitude D610 everything works, except wifi led

okubax · 2011-02-12 18:01:16

Using Asus Eee PC 1015 PEM, everything works. My second netbook with Arch installed

fsckd · 2011-02-12 19:23:10

Samsung NF210-A02 for over a month. Works very well with Arch "out of the box" (for everything I've needed). Like with some other Samsung models, cfdisk craps out. Parted, fdisk and pretty much everything else work fine.

el · 2011-02-16 17:53:45

Laptop: Sony Vaio VPCF13S1R

Works fine "out of the box" - GeForce GT 425M (nvidia 260.19.36-2), sound, 802.11b/g/n AR9287, touchpad etc.

Kernel is stock one: kernel26-2.6.37-5

Jelle · 2011-02-16 20:21:20

Acer Aspire 5720G and Sony Vaio VGN-NS11M, both running Openbox and i3 without a single hiccup for about a month now (although I don't know about the touchpads, as I hate those).

Alexmar · 2011-02-20 17:32:14

DELL XPS M1530 Here... Bought almost three years ago. But it works really nice with any Linux distribution I have tried so far.

samadhi · 2011-02-22 00:49:39

Picked up a 7 year old Fujitsu Lifebook T3010D Tablet that was running Windows XP tablet edition. When it was given to me the system was not functional and would blue screen as soon as the windows kernel was loaded (surprised?). Long story short, I installed arch and everything save the wireless and stylus worked flawlessly upon first boot. All it took to get everything functional was enabling the wacom module for the stylus and installing b43legacy to enable wireless networking.

General Specs:

Kernel 2.6.37
Intel Pentium M 1.4MHz (i686)
Broadcom BCM4306 Wireless G
Gnome Desktop
2 GB RAM

Everything works flawlessly and for an older laptop the system is quick and responsive, which is more than I can say for the state in which I received it.

Carrot.nl · 2011-02-22 14:47:16

I have an Acer Aspire 9920 running many distro's, including ArchLinux, and of course Windows7 for the occasional game.

jecxjo · 2011-02-23 00:37:18

I just bought a new Toshiba NB505 Netbook. Everything seems to work including the built in webcam. I did have to create an AUR for the Realtek RTL8176 Wifi Card but that was simple enough. Arch is a great distro for all the new Intel Atoms coming out.

spo11 · 2011-02-25 04:46:09

Just installed Arch on my Acer Aspire 4730z.

viking60 · 2011-02-25 10:25:06

I Just installed Arch on my Acer Acpire One 751 with the Poulsbo Chipset.
Ubuntu 9.04 that could handle the 1366x768 resolution is not supported anymore. I installed http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15486 and "followed" the readme. And now the lap is perfect. Great stuff.

Soreil · 2011-02-25 20:01:20

Thinkpad Edge 11(i3 380UM model). Working just fine. Had none of the issues I had with the audio jack under Ubuntu 10.10 but they can also be because Arch(if I am correct) has a more recent version of Alsa in the repos.

tadevokle · 2011-02-25 20:28:44

Toshiba NB205 runs arch very smoothly.
The battery issues aside my asus k52 also seem to work just fine under arch.

kichi · 2011-02-26 01:08:32

Installed arch on my Dell XPS 15 laptop...Had to research a little bit to get all the things I wanted to work..Now the system is smooth and running like a beast

lordrayden · 2011-02-26 14:11:30

COMPAQ NX-9010 512MB RAM WITH GNOME

Everything works fast and stable.

JMO · 2011-02-26 21:01:21

Just installed and configured in a HP 425

It uses a Broadcom 4727 wireless card, wich gave me some problems, but nothing wich cannot be solved with late-night hours and a hand of the Arch community
I'm having troubles to with the webcam, but other than that, the computer behaves flawlessly with Arch Linux.
