How is ubuntu and lenovo doing?

Question

ubuntu

Actually, the question is this. I'm going to buy a laptop, my eyes fell on the Lenovo G700G G700A or E545. In the latter, AMD confuses
How will Ubuntu stand on it? Without pain and tears?
And Windows?

Answer 1

With a proprietary driver - of course it will. The question is about WiFi cards - as far as I remember, on HP and Lenovo I often come across pieces of iron for which the driver must be assembled separately. But in the end, as usual, everything works.

Answer 2

Works extremely well with the latest versions. The only pitfall is Save Mod if Win8 is preinstalled. In this case, if not disabled, it will resist installing Ubuntu

Answer 3

Intel - normal flight. nVidia is flawless. ATI - God forbid.
Actually, this is an old problem. Read forums - ATI cards - horror and darkness for Linux. There are drivers, but half of the cards do not work, the old ones drop, there is no support for KMS and is not expected (although nVidia is also bad with this, at least the firewood gets up there normally), any trouble in the BIOS - write lost, stupidly will not get up.
