Last Summer, at a yard sale, I found a guy selling some older hardware. I took a shine to this Lenovo laptop.
I only just found a power adapter to be able to test it, yesterday.
It came with Windows 7, but I resized the partition to its minimum and installed 20.08 on the larger portion.
So far it's running very well, but I've had issues with some of the hardware.
1) the cameras - there are two, right above the monitor. I can not figure out how to get them to turn on. I would have thought a fn hotkey, but there doesn't appear to be one.
2) Bluetooth support - not sure if there is a Bluetooth adapter in here, but it /seems/ that's the case. More research (opening the case) is necessary. I don't get any errors when I load the btusb module.
I think someone must have shoehorned a newer wireless adapter in it - unless 5G wlan was available in 2009?
