it's too new. Not even released in most shops here in Sweden. I'm looking at buying this and as long as the WiFi Link 1000 is supported by Lucids kernel im fine. I am a bit suspect on the performance of the SU7300 CULV chip, but I only need the laptop for surfing/email/browsing photos and playing 720p films, which it should cope with, but it is possible that multiple apps open at the same time makes the desktop feel slow, hence my suspicion.
but with 6-8 hrs battery and thinkpad-ish keyboard, im all for it! I use a Thinkpad T61p at work, and it's the best laptop i've ever used, but cannot afford it personally, so the Edge is a great option.
I recently used an Atom N270 based Samsung NC10 with winxp... it worked, and teh desktop "feel" when running one app at a time was pretty good, but I installed Nero on it and it took 1 whole hour to install the application!
If this is to be your main computer, it might be a bit underpowered for more serious tasks. This is going to be my "surfing" laptop, and I already have a Home Server for very processor/memory/disk intensive tasks, so it won't really matter for me if I cannot photo edit or transcode etc on this laptop.

I just bought one about 2 hours ago and am currently running 9.10 from a USB stick. So far wireless is fine, as is sound. Volume and brightness buttons OK. Camera not yet working (hence my check in the forums). I'll let you know as I progress.
please do let us know what the performance is like with the SU7300 processor. Can you run firefox/thunderbird/movie player at the same time without slowdown? Does the desktop "feel slow". How much battery time do you get during average use?
Hi all,
the ThinkPad Edge (type: 0196-2eg) works fine for me with the latest Karmic...
WLAN, UMTS, camera, Bluetooth, 3D acceleration, sound, etc. all do work fine.
GPS is not (yet) working.
Best,
M.
No word on the AMD version, is there?
I bought the AMD version today, but the problem is WLAN doesn't work with 9.10.
Do you know what to do?
Thanks
