BTO laptop

Not bad at first sight, no OS which was my main reason, and reasonable value for money. Though a little bit plastic at some points.

os

debian ... NO

The big problem with debian right away was the WIFI card. I tried downloading the correct firmware : which was :

firmware:       iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode

But you can install it in /lib/firmware, or install a correct deb package which will do that for you, but :

modinfo iwlwifi 

Will never list the driver, also after unloading and reloading or even rebooting. .. I gave up.

Minty ... NO

This seemed to recognize the card, but does NOT provide a scan list, sorry but i don't even want to try further. I had to implement this myself at adyen on a PIN device, and they can't manage that !??!

ctrl-alt-del ... whipe minty .... HOI!!!

ubuntu

Well out of the box this seems to be the choice for now, directly sees the card and provides a descent pick list.
