That might be so. When I got this unit way back March, it might be the last of its kind that was on sale. Perhaps another Lenovo model might work perhaps T-series.
Regardless, it's a 64bit machine, Intel Core2 Duo T6750, 2GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive, a dedicated Nvidia GeForce G105M graphics chip with 256 MB RAM. Not much ports though. No firewire, no DVI. All in all though, Ubuntu Lucid 64bit has been working on this thing from the get go. No issues so far.
