   Try a Dell P24t ... problems ........

   I've even had issues with an HP Pavillion.

   My ancient, now dead because I dropped it while standing
   on a ladder, Asus Eee PC ... at the time only MX had a
   smart enough GRUB to install properly to the eemc mem
   'drive'.

   LOTS of work trying to track down the touchpad issues.
   No luck.

   But MX works out of the box and is snappier too. Even
   some (distro-specific) tools like "clone your existing
   system to an ISO" (from INSIDE the running system). Wish
   they ALL had that !
