My last HP in particular was a horror, replacing the WLAN with a newer and better unit that wasn't in the whitelist caused the machine to beep and intentionally fail POST. Dell doesn't do whitelist and has committed to not doing so going forward a few times. Throwing an SSD (or a faster SSD) and newer, better wireless in has made quite a few of my older laptops surprisingly capable.___________________________________________________________________________On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 8:56 PM, Christopher Wawak <chris@wawak.org> wrote:My employer offers employees who travel the option of a Lenovo X1 Carbon.
