I boot - from the laptop F9 - select efi file to boot - bootx64.efi.
boot.cfg is on the root filesystem, as usual. The two Linux
installations on the same disk have some grub, but I don't use it to
boot anything besides them. It all just came to pass without any
problems for me on this laptop, as

OT.
Like that signature. Have been thinking of making this one myself.
Always wondered why people have a signature that says sent from my xphone

Another fairly regular and reasonably happy NetBSD laptop user here.
HP Envy 17" 2016 vintage with Intel 530 graphics and NVidia GeForce

now works very well, with only a few disappearing horizontal streaks

Same here, HP ProBook 6460b from 2013, i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, replaced the
original HDD with a SSD and replaced the crappy broadcom wifi card with an
Intel one. Everything working fine, further details here,

Hm.. well... on the pinebook, I would say that NetBSD's graphics drivers
"leave a lot to be desired". Mind you, with the Linux KDE Neon I'm

I do, and I have been silent. For me everything works on my two Acer
ones I currently have, but I could not recommend any
I don't recommend my laptops because I can name the list of things not
working on them (I want to fix them at some point).
I can tell you what is missing in a Dell XPS 9550 but given that I have
graphical acceleration, external monitor and internal wifi, it's an OK
recent laptop for netbsd'ing.
My "intel" laptop is a Lenovo X200 running 8.1 and works great. As far as the
"daily driver" goes I still rely on my Mac because my knowledge of NetBSD and
crafting a stable desktop is shaky at best... albeit getting better. I do most
of my python development on a box running current. All my

Suggestions weren't mind-blowing or anything, but the usual suspects:
Thinkpads and people saying some random laptop mostly works for them.

Good choice, Chris!
Is it possible to collect the suggestions that others gave you and send them
around, either privately, or publicly to the list? I am looking for a Thinkpad
too (anything that starts with X or T and ends in #00, #20, or #30) but it
doesn't _have_ to be a TP.
So far my
Ended up simply ordering a Thinkpad T420 off eBay for $200. Better
specs than I currently have and well supported.
Thanks for all that gave me recommendations via this email, IRC, and
Twitter.

Does "new" mean
Hello Hivemind,
I'm shopping for a new laptop and would like to have a laptop with
very good NetBSD support (ethernet and wireless networking works,
graphics works using the graphics card in a non-generic way,
suspend/resume works, trackpad).
