Hi, I have a Lenovo G505 stuffed with AMD products and stuffed with problems. I can boot oS 13.1 only in recovery mode, energy saving (suspend and híbernate) are highly problematic, screen saving also. Though interestingly there was one place where screen saving worked in a wifi environment, and I don't know its reason. Virtualization is permitted by BIOS, I use vB (Oracle) but only 32 bit systems can be installed. UEFI and secure boot is OK. In fact, I could use only os WITH uefi AND SECURE BOOT, i totally failed with other ubuntu based distros. This is not a dual-boot system, it has 13.1 with KDE 4.13 and XFCE and Win7 in VB. Tried dual bootwith win 7 but it would havew a major task to collect drivers from vendors site, since win7 does not contain drivers for this machine. Albert Idézet (lynn <lynn@steve-ss.com>):

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop. Currently the wife and I share an old Dell which is setup for dual-booting Winblows and openSUSE. We frequently end up bargaining on who gets to use it on a given day.
I would like a laptop that can run Linux well, has supported hardware, high quality video (CAD drawings), is light weight, and preferably under $US 1000. Brand is not high on the priority list but customer service is.
I have a 15.6 acer Hi Problem here with acer is that they bios disable virtualisation: no xen or kvm. Can't do 64 bit vm's of any type either. That's Spain. YMMV.
