Issues: Mostly works like a charm, have faced issues getting HDMI output since past 2 weeks, searching online for a solution
Any feedback yet concerning Lenovo T430 laptops?
Before installing Ubuntu I am interested in knowing if there would be any need to install software such as thinkfan. Would be a basic T430 in fact; Intel graphics and wireless; no camera, nor fingerprint reader.
Sorry for the misunderstanding -- to rephrase it correctly, the laptop has not been bought yet. Though, Ubuntu would be the operating system of choice on it for sure.
I am thinking of this thread as a viable place (short of creating a separate thread) to ask for compatibility degree towards it, especially since no thorough examination seems to have been posted on the web regarding the ralationship between such laptops and Precise.

Everything is fine but the monitor : ,
Just like TerryMasters, the prob is solved if I maximized the window, or drag/ move the window. Sometimes it wont disappear by just resize the window. So I have to double the way I maximized/ minimized/ moved the position, till the error gone.
@thom_: what is your video card and what driver are you using ?
(to know which video card, do:
... and post the output in a new thread, we can maybe help)Code:lspci | grep VGA
You guys need to try LinuxMint. They don't use the Ubuntu Unity crap. I'll post review and findings next week.

At time of posting, graphics driver, mic, brightness and VGA connections still remain a no-go which is a shame given that so much works well.
