Discussion
This laptop supports Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, T9600 and maybe others, (2.66 GHZ, 2.8 GHZ) , It also supports 500gb 5400rpm and 7200rpm hdd's. Also the exact same model came out with 2 different graphics cards, one being the Nvidia listed here, the other the Ari Radeon HD4570 512mb DDR2 card (better then the nvidia), the laptops mxm slot allows easy removal/replace from the nvidia to the ati, the cards are available on ebay to upgrade your laptop with.
Hey. I couldn't get any sound on HDMI port running in Ubuntu 9.04
The aplay -l doesn't list anything with Digital.
Works fine with Ubuntu Linux 9.04
