Has anyone used a Lenovo Yoga 2 with openSUSE? This is about the size, weight, and price I'm looking for although the lack of an internal DVD and non-expandable RAM are drawbacks but not show-stoppers.
I haven't used that specific laptop, but a comment on the lack of internal DVD... I've got a laptop with no DVD and it's not an issue at all. You can pick up a very cheap external USB DVD drive (they are really slim and light) and keep it in your laptop bag. I use mine maybe once in 6 months... if that. It's really not worth basing a laptop purchase on whether there's an internal DVD or not these days. The DVD drive is rapidly becoming obsolete. For storage/backup (a reason people cite for needing/wanting a DVD drive), you can pick up something like the 2TB WD Passport drive.. USB3 and really small. The RAM... on the Yoga 2, you can get up to 8GB of RAM... that should be more than enough for more laptop needs regardless of OS. For resources on that laptop, check: http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_ideapad_yoga_2_pro http://keithcu.com/wordpress/?p=3270 Basically.. it seems to work OK with Linux.
