hi, i’ve just baught the same laptop and try to put ubuntu 11.10 on it dual boot.
Everythings seems fine execept the screen resolution which remain à 1024×768 i did not manage to set it at 1366×768. Maybe it is due to the fact that i had to put nomodeset a startup option in order not to have a blacksreen after booting.
Did you manage to get 1366×768 ?
I agree. That’s why I’m putting Ubuntu on it. If I can just find a way to boot it into the loader so I never have to see Windows. That would be awesome.
It sure would be nice if they were to offer a clean machine. You just know that without all the bloat OS and other stuff, it’d be down around $200 easy.
Unfortunately, I don’t have this laptop quite yet so I can’t be of much help. Glad to hear that someone is using it though.
