LinuxCertified LC2210D Laptop Review

Provataki writes "OSNews posted a review of the LinuxCertified LC2210D laptop, running the latest Ubuntu. The laptop delivers pretty well and it has modern characteristics for a fair price but it's not without its small configuration issues. It is also another proof that Linux's ACPI sleep support does not work on most laptops out there, even the ones picked for best compatibility with Linux."

  1. ACPI sleep by mjg59 · · Score: 4, Informative

    ACPI sleep works on most modern laptops. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HoaryPMResults has rather more "Yes" entries than "No" ones, and a large number of the failures are now well understood. Toshiba, IBM and (surprisingly) Sony seem to be good for ACPI support. For HP, it depends on the range - a lot of their hardware is very different. Older Dells seem good, and some of their modern stuff works without problems.
