1)Version Of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha/Daily build release

2)Laptop Maker: Lenovo

3)Laptop Model: Ideapad 310-15ABR

I replaced the stock HDD that came with it to a Samsung EVO 850 SSD and it works amazing! Well, albeit the very few bugs with the daily builds but everything works awesome. No issues, hardware wise.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) EliteBook 8440p installed Lubuntu v1704 64-bit very easily and well.

I had problems with Windows XP and Windows 7 was fussy, but Lubuntu recognized all the hardware and installed without any issues.
This hardware laptop model is a bit odd because it's Intel mainly, yet it has some NVIDIA instead of ATI/AMD parts for the video and maybe even some of the sound. The other EliteBooks I've had (which also install Linux well and easily) had ATI/AMD components. This time (on the 8440p) I didn't have to do any kernel options (NOMODESET) to get the video working.

Windows XP doesn't let me upgrade some of the hardware drivers even when I download them from support.hp.com, but Lubuntu (and TahrPup v6 Puppy Linux) have been reliable and stable. Also, Windows XP couldn't find my wifi chip, but these Linuxes can just fine. I prefer Windows XP to Windows Vista/7/10/etc, yet it's just too old and unsupported. Lubuntu and Xubuntu and Ubuntu Studio (similar to Xubuntu) are good alternatives and not too much like Windows. I'm happy.

Just note, all installs were done in MBR BIOS mode instead of UEFI. The HP BIOS itself warns that UEFI use is not supported and buggy and not recommended. Also, Puppy Linux usually requires MBR BIOS mode as well as MBR hard drive format (instead of GPT). But that's not a problem if you don't need more than 3-4 partitions.
