Touchpad issue on 10.04 and 10.10, fixed in 11.04. Sound issue in 10.04, fixed in 10.10. On 12.04 beta, at least on my install unplugging the power does not automatically dim the screen. Beside that, everything else works, even hibernate

2 different ones with hybrid cpu/gpu's will not run anything other than 10.10 stable....one is an acer inspire 5250-0468 the other is a brand new hp g7....neither will boot to desktop with anything higher than 10.10, why were the fixes not included in the newer builds for the newer cpugpu combinations being released as a standard for laptops now....this is very frustrating and making me not want to even try to load the latest mint version again....ive wasted hundreds of dvds, research hundreds of hours as to why this is occuring, boils down to no ati gpu graphics drivers being correctly inmplemented into the kernel....just my opinion but for being the number one distro out for a while I would think these things would run on the latest hardware. Let me say this also...its not just this distro...its 98% of the latest out there right now as ive tried just about them sll

I have a HP Pavilion g4

The specific specs of mine are as follows,

CPU: AMD A6-3400m
GPU: ATI Radeon 6520g
RAM: 8 Gb of DDR3 1333 Mhz
HDD: 750 Gb

So far from my testing with Ubuntu 12.04 BETA 2 i have had no problems the graphic driver provided by the extra driver tool have worked properly from every thing from basic use, to playing video game. I have tried to use as many features as I possibly could and for me they all work. Apparently they have worked out and provided the latest Linux Kernal that has the added support for the AMD APU line right out of the box. So this is the perfect time for any one who wants to try Ubuntu and has to hold off because they would get the black screen problem when using an APU. I give it a 100% compatible mark. Great job Ubuntu team keep it up.

Just received a new Lenovo Edge Thinkpad E520 (Intel I5, 4GB RAM, $600). It came pre-installed with Windows 7 home premium (*boo*). Ten minutes later it was running 12.04 LTS (*yay*).

I was a big fan of old-style Gnome interface, and at first considered changing to Mint. Glad I didn't, though it took an hour to get the feel of the new Unity interface, and I was somewhat cranky until I (re-)discovered the ctrl-alt-t combination.

Unlike previous releases of Ubuntu, Precise Pangolin fits the hardware so nicely it feels almost like a MAC (love the 2 finger scrolling - how about some 3 finger stuff).

Wireless network, blue-tooth mouse, laptop suspend function all working beautifully. Ironically my thinkpad laser mouse wouldn't even connect to the thinkpad laptop when running Windows 7, using the Windows driver provided.

Overall I think this release has made my laptop a lot more accessible to other family members, without wrecking anything I really depend on. Also nice to see so much more up to date open source stuff in the software manager.

I would highly recommend this laptop hardware for running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (though get the 9 cell battery option if you want all day battery life).

works great after install, forget the usb install option with Toshiba HW setup and go straight to CD.

Works great, didn't try suspend though.

Compal NBLB5

works great except the hybrid graphic support - but no big problem disabled the ATI in grub and use the intel gpu only
